Excitement filled the air in Madisonville as a film crew arrived in town to shoot scenes for an upcoming movie production. From Friday to Monday, various locations around town served as the backdrop for the film, creating a buzz of anticipation and curiosity among residents and visitors alike.

The frenzy started on Friday, July 21 when the film crew set up at the local radio station, KMVL, catching the attention of passersby. The film's director, Jim Parrack, known for his roles in hit TV shows like '9-1-1: Lone Star' and 'True Blood,' shared his enthusiasm for a particular door at the radio station, calling it 'unique' and expressing his desire to feature it in his motion picture.

When asked about the reason behind choosing Madisonville as the film's shooting location, Parrack's response highlighted his personal connection to the area. 'Why Madison County? All my family, my uncle, my cousins, they all live here, and I've been coming here since I was a kid,' he explained. 'I've always liked the people here, and I love the ranch country, and Madison County expresses how pretty the state of Texas is.”

Parrack had envisioned several shooting locations for the movie, but when he looked at the distinctive door at KMVL, he knew it was a must-have for the film's aesthetic.

According to the Parrack, the movie revolves around the story of an old rancher and former marine caught in a predicament, forced to take drastic measures to save his ranch from the clutches of the IRS. The movie's premise promises an intriguing blend of drama and action set against the backdrop of the Texan countryside.

The crew was spotted at several iconic locations in Madisonville throughout the filming process, including the historic courthouse square and Walker's Cafe. Reports suggest that they even took to the rooftops of some buildings in town to capture unique perspectives for the movie.

The movie's presence in Madisonville brought excitement and curiosity. Local businesses benefited from the film crew's presence, as cast and crew members frequented restaurants and stores during their stay.

Residents eagerly await the movie's release to see how their charming town had been captured on the silver screen.
