Support a locally-shot movie this weekend
Jun 9th, 2006 | By mpi | Category: Cobb County, Marietta SquareThis weekend, you’ll have a chance to see the film, “The Other Side,” playing at the Atlanta Film Festival, Sunday night at 9:45 pm. The film, which was shot “100 percent in and around Atlanta,” according to Gregg Bishop, the movie’s director, gained approval at this year’s Slamdance Festival - an alternative to the widely-known Sundance Festival.
Bishop and the film’s producer, Chad Eikhoff - both Powder Springs natives - hope “The Other Side” will continue to win over audiences on the film festival circuit, but ultimately hope the film will be picked up by a large distributor so it can find mainstream success on the big screen.
Of note is the main car chase sequence, which was shot on the Marietta Square. Bishop mentioned that “many local people” worked on “The Other Side.”
