"The Grace Card" will tackle themes of race and redemption, according to the synopsis on the movie's Web site:
In racially charged Memphis Tennessee, a searing personal tragedy has left police officer Mac McDonald a bitter, angry soul, blaming a long downward spiral on minorities, "the system" and God Himself.The screenplay was written by Howard Klauser (2000's "Space Cowboys" starring Clint Eastwood) and David Evans. Evans is also listed as a producer, along with Kyle Prohaska and John R. Saunders, who has worked on a number of Memphis-filmed movies over the years, including "Walk the Line," "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and "The Firm."
Who better to bring this simmering kettle to a boil than an African-American pastor-cop named Sam, who's just been promoted in front of Mac, and assigned as his new partner?
When a routine burglary call goes horribly wrong, Mac McDonald hits bottom, and stares into the Abyss of losing it all--career, family, and any reason to go on. His only lifeline is Grace, offered by the God he's abandoned, through the gift of a man he can barely stand.
The question is, will he take it?
The Kansas City Movie Examiner says the movie will shoot over five weeks, beginning Oct. 19.
How do I audition for a part?
I'm not sure how many actual parts are still available, but you can e-mail extras@memphiscalvary.org if you're interested in work as an extra.
Looks like I was about 5 weeks ahead of the curve on this story, eh? :D
