New film with Haywood roots to screen at The Strand

“Chasing Grace,” a faith-based, family thriller filmed in Haywood County, will make its premier at 8 and 10 p.m. July 10 at The Strand at 38 Main in Waynesville.

The story takes place present day. A tragic accident threatens to destroy a pastor's family and sets into motion a complex betrayal between two brothers, while exposing secrets no one wants to face. Based upon the Amazon hit, Discovering Grace, author David Temple weaves a dramatic tale in his debut novel with this screenplay adaptation.

Film locations included The Classic Wineseller, Pisgah High School, Town of Waynesville building, First Baptist Church, and other locations around Haywood County.

The film will also be have regular showings at 4 and 7 p.m. July 11, 2 and 4 p.m. July 12 and 7 p.m. July 14-15. Tickets are $6 for adults, $4 for children ages 12 and under. 

"Chasing Grace" was produced by Temple’s Film & TV production company, Catalyst Pictures, LLC in association with N2ition Cinema. Catalyst Pictures is developing a variety of films ranging from family and romance, to documentaries and horror. They are in early talks about a possible sequel; likely adapting Temple’s second novel, Stealing Hope. 

The Haywood County Tourism Development Authority’s Film Office assisted in the location scouting and services rendered during the making of this film.
