A feature film with a Wilmington-area cast and crew is ready to watch.
"Drought" is now available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Set in a small drought-ridden North Carolina town in 1993, it features actors who've worked on other Wilmington projects such as Hannah Black ("Uncle Frank") and Drew Scheid ("Words on Bathroom Walls").
Black and Megan Petersen are the creators with Mark and Jay Duplass executive producers.
The movie's main character Carl (played by Owen Scheid), who is on the Autism spectrum and fascinated by weather, predicts a storm will soon hit nearby. His sister Sam (Black) crafts a plan to help him chase the storm, stealing their mother’s ice cream truck to embark on a road trip about family, forgiveness, and following your dreams.
