Picture
Ryan O'Quinn, originally from Grundy, Virginia, is filming the feature film Believe in our area.
The production office is in Bristol, filled with filming calendars, model sets, and wardrobe.
They spend about half the time filming in Grundy, and the other half in Bristol.

O'Quinn said he knew it had to be filmed in this area when he was reading through the scripts and kept picturing places that were familiar to him. He then convinced the director to check the area out, who fell in love with it.
​
"I often call it a slice of life. But it is salt of the earth, middle America, good, southern hospitable people. I often say literally and figuratively everybody around the Tri-Cities have rolled out the red carpet to our film crew and it's been great," O'Quinn said.
He also said the movie adds jobs and brings a huge boom to the economy.
Believe is set to come out Christmas of this year.
