Auburn School is excited to announce that our school will be a setting in an upcoming full-length feature film "A Place Called Home”, written and directed by Kiel Thorlton, an alumnus of Auburn School (#onceatigeralwaysatiger) and the Logan County school system! You can find more information about the director, here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3318327/
“A Place Called Home” is being filmed in Logan County, Kentucky, in June 2019! The film crew are looking for CHILDREN (entering 3rd-6th grade next year) and WOMEN (20-50 years old) to have an opportunity to act as background extras at Auburn Elementary School.
If you are interested in being an extra in the film, here are the qualifications:
1. Children entering 3rd-6th grade next year. We are currently looking for between 65 and 85 children.
**Be available ALL DAY June 26
**A legal guardian MUST be present at the time of filming for a child to participate.
**DO NOT wear anything blue (denim blue jeans are okay, but nothing else).
**DO NOT wear anything with large screen print logos or recognizable characters.
**Bring a change of clothes in case of a wardrobe issue.
**Dress as if you were going to school for the day—nothing fancy, please.
2. Women 20-50 years old. Any woman is welcome between those ages. We are currently looking for between 25 and 45 woman to act as PTO mothers.
**Be available ALL DAY June 21.
**DO NOT wear anything blue (denim blue jeans are okay, but nothing else).
**DO NOT wear anything with large screen print logos or recognizable characters.
**Bring a change of clothes in case of a wardrobe issue.
**Dress as if you were going to a PTO meeting for the evening—nothing fancy, please.
The film itself is set for a PG-13 rating and we are hoping to have a theatrical release in early 2021. This film is an independent production and not a large Hollywood film. It’s a redemptive piece that showcases real life in Kentucky and shows the beauty of Logan County. The film has a strong message about family, love, and faith. However, it does showcase real life. In the final production there are adult themes explored such as death, loss, and violence; in addition, there is language in the film (thus the PG-
13 rating).
NO language or themes are expressed anywhere near Auburn Elementary School and no child of any kind would hear anything. The Director is a father of young children and would in no way want to express thoughts or ideas to children that he would not express to his own.
If you and/or your child are able to meet these qualifications and you would like to participate as an extra in the film this summer, please complete the signup form here:
