UNION BOUND
June 2013: Uptone Pictures produced a film based
on a true story about a union soldier during the civil war who was captured and
escaped from a Florence POW camp in 1864. The film was made here in North
Carolina at the Stageville Plantation in Oxford. Twenty one days at
approximately fourteen hours per day, cast and crew battled the heat, ticks,
snakes, mosquitoes, and more to film this epic event. Mike Davis, CEO of Uptone Pictures and a longtime
friend of Living Arts College has always been a huge supporter of our faculty
and students. He contracted Professor Craig Brandwynne and his company Center
Sound Records to provide all of the audio and music needed for the film. Craig
hired about 12 students from the college for the project. Some were paid and
some were interns depending on their availability and experience. This was a
fantastic opportunity for the students to have this type of credit on their
resume while attending college. There were some more student that did
participate in a limited fashion but they did get some experience. Out institution is very proud to be a part on this
film as it is opening in over 250 theaters around the country and slated for
many overseas markets. The following
faculty and students were a part of this production. Some are continuing to
work on the M&E Track for overseas distribution. Union Bound premiered on January 14, 2016 at the
Marquee Cinema at Wakefield Plantation, Raleigh NC. Living Arts College received screen credit along
with all of the students that participated in the film.
