Gemelli Films to Film "Restoring Harmony" Entirely in Jonesborough

Gemelli Films, known for its storytelling prowess, is set to bring its latest feature film, "Restoring Harmony," to the quaint Tennessee town of Jonesborough. The production, directed by Candice Cain, is scheduled to be filmed entirely on location from late September through early October, marking a significant shift from the company’s previous approach.

Unlike its earlier production, "Love in Storytown," which brought elements of Jonesborough to the screen through some recreations, "Restoring Harmony" promises to be deeply rooted in the town. "We didn’t do that with Love in Storytown, except for the establishing shots during the festival," said Cain. "I want to make sure that we not only film in Jonesborough but that our project helps boost the local economy."

Cain's commitment to authenticity is evident in the detailed locations chosen for the film. Main Street, with its historic facades, will be the star of the show, providing a rich visual backdrop. Key landmarks like The Jackson Theatre and The Eureka Inn will not just be settings; they will play integral roles in the story. The Chester Inn and the International Storytelling Center will be depicted as living spaces, bringing a sense of genuine life to the film.

What sets "Restoring Harmony" apart is not just its scenic locations but the people of Jonesborough. The town, known for its rich storytelling tradition, will be more than a set; it will be a character in its own right. "I personally prefer to film in the town where the story is set," said Cain. "The residents of Jonesborough are natural storytellers, and their presence, spirit, and sense of community will infuse the story with something that cannot be replicated: truth."

This project is a love letter to Jonesborough, celebrating a place where history and modernity coexist. "This is your town, and it deserves to be seen," Cain emphasized. Gemelli Films is now reaching out to local businesses and individuals, offering product placement and brand integration opportunities to ensure that they are organically part of the film's narrative.

Production is set to begin in late September and will continue through early October. Additional details, including further opportunities for local participation, will be announced in the coming weeks. The company is inviting local businesses and individuals to be part of this unique storytelling experience, promising that their involvement will enhance the authenticity and charm of the film.

Gemelli Films is committed to not just filming in Jonesborough but also contributing to the local economy. "We want to make sure that our project helps boost the local economy," said Cain. This dedication to the community is reflected in the company's approach to the production, making "Restoring Harmony" a true collaboration between the filmmakers and the town.
