GULFPORT, Miss. - The filmmaking world has made its way into Gulfport with a cast full of locals taken from Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast.
“I wanted to bring a twist and a look in what a southwest Mississippi family would do if they were faith-based, entrepreneurs, and if they love family,” said Christopher Upchurch. “They are normal people, and I wanted to write something that would speak to regular people in the Bible Belt or all around the world.”
Christopher is the owner and CEO of CA Production. He and his crew are filming a faith-based TV series called “Hey Chris”. The reason for filming in Gulfport was because of his wife and executive producer.
“I love Gulfport. I’ve lived here for 11 years before we moved to Texas, and I told him, ‘I think we should go back to Gulfport.’ I am a water baby, and I love the beach. It’s very calming,” said Amanda Upchurch.
The couple ended up in the filming industry after shooting a short film back in 2018. They said now is the time for people to make their own projects because of a recent shift in Hollywood.
“There are a lot of people like ourselves that are out here really wanting to try and breakthrough, and this is the time when COVID really had lowered the gates for people to come in and to maybe set themselves there and a lot of others may not understand how to adapt with digital cameras and not the normal ones because those are becoming obsolete now,” said Christopher. “Don’t give up on your dreams, don’t give in to the opposition or the talking heads. Keep God first, stay communal as possible and you will see your dreams manifest.”
If you’re waiting to see the final product, the crew says their goal is to have everything ready this year.
