Movie Filmed in Fort Bend Soon to Be Released

The independently-produced mystery thriller movie “Apart” has been shooting in and around the Fort Bend area, including Richmond and Rosenberg, for nearly two years -but it’s now in post-production and headed for release soon! Community support has been high for the film, and has included scenes from the streets of Fort Bend, as well as from Lamar Consolidated High School (LCHS) and Foster High School (FHS) - including filming during the 2008 football game between the two schools.

The cities of Richmond and Rosenberg have also lent their support, waiving fees for the small production that meant the difference in getting not just good, but great exposure of the Fort Bend area that will be seen in the upcoming film. The cast includes many veterans of film, but is the debut for writer/director Aaron Rottinghaus, and is produced by Ryan Rettig. The movie and its release will signal that Fort Bend is a great site to film future movies, as well as highlight the great communities and people of Fort Bend.

What a great day for Lakemont’s Foster High Falcon’s Football Team as they have been invited to play at Dave Campbell’s 12th Annual Texas Football Classic at San Antonio’s Alamodome on August 28, 2010!

The Foster Falcons will play the El Paso Hanks that day at noon, a high honor for a local high school team. Only ten teams were selected and invited from all high schools across Texas, something for everyone in Lakemont to be excited about. And, the Falcons’ head coach Mark Wiatrek is understatedly excited, not only for the team, but for the band and cheerleaders that will also be participating that day.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine began and sponsors the Texas Football Classic. The magazine is planning a June road tour to each of the high schools invited to attend as a way to drive attention and attendance at this year’s games. Details on that tour are to be released soon.
