A movie filmed in St. Joseph is now available to rent or buy.
Producer Jason Hudson says âAccidental Familyâ is a showcase for St. Joseph.
âRiver Bluff Brewing is a big one. Krug Park, actually,â Hudson says of the pieces of St. Joseph featured in the movie. âWhen you watch it, if youâre from St. Joe youâll go, âOh my gosh,â it is a love letter to St. Joe.â
Hudson has had success in St. Joseph before, producing âChristmas at the Chateau,â which landed on Showtime. It was filmed at the Shakespeare Chateau.
Actor Justen Jones calls âAccidental Familyâ a love letter to St. Joseph.
âThereâs something for everyone,â Jones says. âEven if you donât like the story, the fact that thereâs so much St. Joe in the movie, makes it worth the watch right there.â
Jones and Hudson tell host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline they hope the community enjoys the movie.
âAccidental Familyâ is the second movie Clear Light has filmed in St. Joseph. The company also made âChristmas at the Chateau,â which was centered on the Shakespeare Chateau just off of downtown St. Joseph.
Hudson and Jones encourage everyone from the St. Joseph area to give âAccidental Familyâ a look.
âI think youâll enjoy the movie and youâll get excited to go, man, this was made in St. Joe. This is incredible,â Hudson says.
âYou just nailed it right there,â Jones follows. âItâs a St. Joe proud event. So, if youâre proud to be here. If you really want to rally behind St. Joe, this is still the beginning of great things to come.â
Clear Light Entertainment has plans to produce even more content in St. Joseph, though future projects are uncertain.
âAccidental Familyâ had its premiere at the Missouri Theatre in St. Joseph in August of last year.
