The Photographer: How the Rain Falls

The year is 1929. James Lewis is a police photographer in a small suburb. His job involves high risks and little reward. Jem finds himself struggling to find a true standard of justice amid his turbulent times. Ella Reinhardt is a banker’s daughter. Her mother died at an early age and Ella is left alone in their spacious home with her preoccupied father and a mystery her mother left behind. Jem and Ella are linked together as, quietly and unobtrusively, a thundercloud threatens to drench them in a downpour that will reveal a mystery and leave an indelible mark. In every life there are hard choices to make. Only God can know what the world will look like beyond the storm. Shot by Sam Ramsey in Tyler and Winnsboro, Texas, summer 2007.

The Franklin County Arts Alliance sponsored our first ever Film Competition this year.  We have redesigned the Premier Showing scheduled for December 21, 2012, the same date indicated by the Mayan Calendar as the end of an age and are especially pleased to announce the presentation of a 55-minute film titled The Photographer.  The movie was produced in our local area entirely by Winnsboro native, Sam Ramsey (now of Austin).  The evening will also feature short- film presentations Bob & Donna McFarland and Liz Etheridge.
