Indianapolis award winning low-budget Avant-garde filmmaker Don Boner, today announced that primary production for his new feature Somewhere In Indiana has been completed. Thomas Johnson of Inverted Staircase Productions will do all post-production for the feature film shot in Indianapolis, Indiana during May, June and early July 2004.

The Movie was shot in 16-millimeter color film and Digital Video.

Somewhere In Indiana is a feature length drama that magnifies the journey of self-discovery, as Adam, Jane, Sam, and Dan travel to Fairview, Indiana, the hometown of screen legend, Eddie Ray, and are forced to face their inner struggles when they encounter a mysterious stranger along the way.

Eddie Ray died in 1957 at the age of 24 in a tragic motorcycle accident on his way to a cycle race. In his brief career he stared in three movies, The Very Tall Texan, Southwest of Paradise, and his most famous film Rebel Without a Reason. The influence he had on his generation increased his popularity, which extended into the present day.

Adam, a white, mid-American, struggling to keep his family together after a sudden job loss, Jane, an Asian-American from the West Coast; a woman raised without a mother, Dan, an East Coast, Lebanese-American still grieving over the tragic death of his young bride, and Sam, a Jewish-American from South Florida, who is trying to find himself, share a love for Eddie Ray. They meet up and travel together to Fairview, Indiana, Eddie Ray’s hometown; each searching for answers.

Little do these four different people realize; they will act as Good Samaritans to Roy, a mysterious stranger who is heading in the same direction. Who is this man who grabs a hold of their inner struggles and teaches them that the answers they need are within themselves? Visiting Fairview can’t solve their problems, after all, it’s just another small town, somewhere in Indiana.
