Students, faculty and alumni from the University of Mobile (UMobile) have been directly involved in the production of a faith-based movie filmed in Mobile.
The faith-based feature film blends live action and animation in a story that showcases the power of grace. Keone Fuqua, assistant professor of film and theatre at UMobile, worked with producers Jeff Galle and Blake Hester in 2010 and that history provided an opportunity for UMobile students to participate in a professional-quality feature film.
Hester, who also served as the film’s extras casting coordinator, recently visited the university to speak with several classes regarding student and faculty involvement in the movie.
“The University of Mobile has been a big supporter,” Hester said. “Keone was a big part of the film and helped us from the very beginning when we were in development. Students and alumni came out during shooting and helped us in post-production.”
“Yellow Day,” directed by Carl Lauten, premiered Sept. 16 at the Mobile Civic Center Theater. Tickets are available at Premiere Cinemas in Spanish Fort.
