Remember when Sharpened Iron Studios announced they would be setting up shop in Amarillo? I reached out and was able to speak with a member of the team at that time regarding their hopes and dreams for what the studio could be for this area.

Variety gave a run down on the stars of the film in an exclusive. Among the names listed was Anne Heche.
