KSTV Newsroom: Stephenville Boy Makes Film Debut Friday

Thank you KSTV News: Source

Grab your cowboy hats and settle in on the couch to see Stephenville’s own Carter Van Zandt, 11, make his screen debut in “Welcome to the West.” The multimedia concert film premieres online at 7:30 p.m. Friday and includes the Gilbert Intermediate School fifth-grade student and host of other Stephenville residents in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Dallas-based Lumedia Musicworks filmed the movie a few weeks ago at Pannill Ranch and other places in Stephenville to celebrate the life of the American rancher, and the musical portion was shot in Celina. The entire production is available online at www.lumediamusicworks.com through Dec. 14. The 50-minute production features poetry, sonatas, concertos, traditional fiddling, folk tunes and 1940s western swing paired with contemporary and historic film footage and photographs from the Library of Congress.
