This week, it’s been wonderful to catch up with Princeton native Kevin Sizemore (who shot 2 features in WV), some of The Asylum team who’s notched up seven films in state, and Rebeccah Crabtree. whose feature “Kingdom of Rexmonte” premieres Dec. 10 at the Lewis Theater in Lewisburg. Tonight, we host our third annual LAppalachians meet-up in Santa Monica with Huntington native Jack Browning hosting LA-based film and TV industry folks who hail from our slice of Appalachia!
