a center, they join forces to find that missing
member, reunite the group, and bring the magic
back into their lives. Casting calls and pre-production
planning is currently underway.
DIRECTOR/PRODUCER: Bill Cowell
CAST: James Garner

CAPTURES ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTION
FACILITY SITE PLAN FINALIZED…
Captures
is developing a 14-acre production
facility that includes five soundstages,
ranging in size from 7,000 sq. ft. to
20,000 sq. ft., as well as a large,
user-configurable cityscape backdrop,
animation lab, special effects lab,
editing, office, storage, wardrobe and
commissary & lodging facilities. This
facility will be used for Captures’
productions, as well as leased out for
usage by other production companies,
providing a self-sustaining source of
income. The land is currently being developed by Captures’
President. This facility will permit
year-round shooting and production
activities – a benefit that many other
East Coast and Mid-West production
companies do not have the luxury of due
to weather.
