But after her plan to escape ends in a horrible accident, Wendi probes the wreckage—and makes a frightening discovery. Someone is out to commit the perfect murder. Wendi’s.

No way, Josh! I was literally just daydreaming about that 2 days ago after having spent some time on Google Maps and wondering when they’d get to the ‘Burg.
I’m checking it out right now!
Oh, it only did I-81… you did say passed by, I should’ve slowed down and read it in my excitement… well, that’s a start!

I’m looking forward to going sometime this weekend. The film was produced locally, the producer being an hburg resident, and local places in the movie include: Staunton, Stuarts Draft, Harrisonburg,
and Broadway.
I’m also partial to English Springer Spaniels, and there is one on the movie poster. :)

While looking at old Hburgnews posts, I came across a link to this blog, which now says the Rocktown documentary will premier at Court Square Theater in Feb. 2009:

We’ll have to keep an eye on it.

Yes, we saw it. It was neat to recognize so many local places. The acting and writing were so-so, but the technical quality of the movie was good.
