Cromwell-based film producer David Gere has been pushing for more movie shoots in central Connecticut, but his latest executive producer credit is attached to a Texas-shot film with a politically volatile plot, especially for a holiday movie.
“You Are My Home,” which arrived on Netflix this month, was shot in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, about 10 miles north of the border. It stars Alyssa Milano, Christián de la Feunte, Angel Parker and Eva Ariel Binder in the story of a young girl who’s separated from her mother at the U.S.-Mexico border. Milano’s character, a social worker, is working to reunite the little girl with her mother for Christmas.
