The production team behind the feature film "Believe" was hoping for 200 extras to show up Saturday at a local park in Buchanan County, VA when more than 2,000 people showed up to support the project and be in the film.
The film stars Ryan O'Quinn, Shawnee Smith, Danielle Nicolet and Issac Brown and revolves around a local business owner (O'Quinn) who befriends a young boy and sets out to save a small town as well as the annual Christmas pageant.
The entire Los Angeles-based production team were pleasantly surprised at the turnout and said they could not have done this scene without the outpouring of support from the local community. Several bands and comedians performed during the evening as well as a Christmas nativity scene, all of which took place in with extras dressed in Winter attire despite March temperatures in the 70s. The Buchanan County Chamber of Commerce and many local businesses and agencies helped produce the event.
The film is set for a Christmas 2016 release.
