'Belleville' The Movie Is NOT A Documentary

Courtesy of Belleville the movie

Belleville is a small agriculture-based city about 90 miles south of Springfield - not the average setting for a movie. But indie filmmakers decided it was the perfect place for a story about a farmer who is grappling with his wife's death. While that may sound pretty heavy, the mood is lightened when an out-of-world stranger shows up on the farmer's property. Dan Steadman wrote and directed the film, he recently joined us to talk about it.
