Movie Inspired by Unconditional Loss Ends with New Life!
Between Unbelievable Loss And Unconditional Love
There is joy!
It is a wrap for the cast and crew of Joy. The full-length comedy has wrapped principle photography and is heading into postproduction. The entire Joy family would like to thank the tri-state for its hospitality.
It should be noted that the movie, inspired by the death of Robert and Elizabeth Joy Hassett is coming to a close with happy news of a new beginning. Casting Director Ashley Hawley and Director Drew Money became the proud parents of a baby boy on August 7!
"This event has just added to the Joy felt on the set," said Joy writer, producer, and actress Julie Marie Hassett, "it's amazing how everything about this project has come full circle."
The cast and crew also had the honor of touring the Over-The-Rhine Boys and Girls Club , in downtown Cincinnati, while making a donation of art supplies on behalf of the Foundation of Joy and Red Love Film. "It was a heart-warming moment to see the important work that takes place there everyday," said Hassett, "we want to give back in anyway we can because this film would not have been possible without the support of the community."
Cincinnati has not seen the last of Red Love Film or Seven/Seventy-Nine, Ltd. The film companies that made up the Joy team have been so impressed with the area they are already scouting locations for future projects. Red Love is working on a psychological thriller and possible sites include warehouses or old hospital/nursing homes. In addition to its next feature film, Seven/Seventy-Nine is working with CET and the Fountain Square Management Group on a series of short vignettes highlighting the unique neighborhoods and history of the Queen City.
"Cincinnati has been a filmmakers dream," said Red Love Film's LA based Executive Producer Joe Ruggieri, "the resources and diversity of locations and visual aspects have been amazing, but the real commodity is the incredibly talented people from southern Ohio that have come together to work on this film."
An official release date for Joy has not been set but the film will be ready in time for the winter film festivals. Until then, "spread the Joy", and THANK YOU SOUTHERN OHIO.
