to del.icio.us
A feature-length film produced by the 2007 Grand Valley State University Summer Film Project will play for one week at the Grand Haven 9 theater starting today.
"To Live and Die in Dixie" is based on a true story of a love triangle at a southern college that ended with two murders. It was shot entirely in West Michigan, directed by John Harper Philbin and produced by a crew of more than 60 GVSU students who worked with film industry professionals.
The casting drew professional actors from Hollywood, Chicago, Detroit and Grand Rapids. Heather Prete plays Eve, the university secretary who becomes consumed by the murder case. Scott Lowell plays the detective and Marcus Hendricks is the alleged murderer.
Show times run throughout each day from 11:20 a.m. to 11:20 p.m. Fifty percent of box office receipts will be donated to GVSU.
