Thanks to all those helping to make this story of CHRISTMAS RIDE come alive.   Pictured here is Dr. Jeff  and his airplane with Reagan Britt Mullins playing APRIL  and Russell Walden in the role of JOSH at the Covington, TN airport.    The cast and crew are also enjoying filming in the beautifully decorated homes of private citizens of the city.   Trucks provided by Thornton Home Furnishings and cars by the owners of Automotive Pro Tek  as well as a couple in Somerville are creating the period feel of the early nineteen nineties.  We appreciate the City of Covington permitting us to film at the prior First Baptist Church, and the Covington Police Department for assisting.   Thanks to Karl Collins for letting us film at the City Service Station on Highway 51,  the owner of Sparky's,  and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church.   Special thanks also go to Wing Stop in Cordova between Bonnie and Dexter on Germantown Parkway for feeding the cast and crew after one filming session and to the historic Ruffin Theatre for loaning us some props.  

Visited Forrest Pruett's Memphis Acting class Monday night to watch talent in action and talk about Christmas Ride's acting needs.  Forgot to mention that U.S. Veterans are given preference for hires.  

On the look out for vehicles.  Christmas Ride needs for the filming:
1) a family style four door sedan from 1990 and before for the leads
2) a low life's car of the same general era;
3) a large truck or van from that time;
4) highway patrol squad car
5) and also a 2012 red corvette convertible, with a back seat
Sponsorship film credits available for car dealers who loan . . .

Locations are being actively scouted now.
