The Christmas season will be extended in downtown Bryan beginning with this week's Jan. 3 First Friday as a film crew begins work on Rekindling Christmas, a movie being co-produced by Bryan native Ashley Martin Atwood, who will also star in the film. The movie will be shot entirely in Bryan, with many of the scenes taking place in downtown Bryan. The movie will also feature Raini Rodriguez, another actress originally from Bryan.
The Downtown Bryan Association is encouraging the local community to attend January's First Friday wearing holiday or cold weather attire while the production crew begins to film scenes to be used in the movie. Holiday decorations will remain in place for the duration of the filming. All normal First Friday activities will take place throughout the evening, including a free concert at the Palace Theater, street musicians, shopping, and dining.
Learn more about the movie here. Help them spread the word and encourage your family and friends to come to January First Friday!
