"Beyond the Farthest Star" brings O'Conner back to her home state as filming begins the first of March in locations throughout the Lone Star State. Pathlight Entertainment LLC has attached Renee O' Connor ("Xena: Warrior Princess, "Fitful," "Bogeyman II") in the role of Maurene Wells in its upcoming family drama, "Beyond the Farthest Star," set for a Christmas 2010 release.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) February 12, 2010 -- Pathlight Entertainment LLC has attached Renée O'Connor ("Xena: Warrior Princess," "Fitful," "Bogeyman II") in the role of Maurene Wells in its upcoming family drama, "Beyond the Farthest Star," set for a Christmas 2010 release.

The feature, produced by Benjamin Dane and Sally Helppie, is directed by its writer, Andrew Librizzi.

When chance brings the national spotlight to his last church in a forgotten Texas town, Pastor Wells has an opportunity to regain his former glory or seize one last chance to restore his fractured family.

"Beyond the Farthest Star" is an American Beauty meets Frank Capra-esque story of betrayal, forgiveness and redemption. Adam Wells, a minister driven by the prospect of achieving greatness as the next nationally-syndicated TV Evangelist, lays down his opportunity at "celebrity" and his own life in order to become something greater, A loving husband and father to his wife and daughter.

"We are delighted Renée has joined 'Beyond,' said Librizzi, "Her ability to make emotionally complex characters both accessible and sympathetic to audiences will be essential in her portrayal of Maurene Wells, a character isolated by a secret. When exposed, it turns the story upside-down."

"Beyond the Farthest Star" brings O'Connor back to her home state as filming begins the first of March in locations throughout North Texas. Represented by Grant Management, O'Connor is also a filmmaker, producing and directing "Words Unspoken" and "Diamonds and Guns."

"Beyond the Farthest Star" Begins Filming in March

Pathlight Entertainment announced today that filming begins in March for their new movie Beyond the Farthest Star. Producer Benjamin Dane and writer/director Andrew Librizzi were winners at last year's 168 Hour Film Project with their faith-based film Still Born.

Beyond the Farthest Star is the story of Adam Wells, a minister driven by the prospect of achieving greatness as the next nationally syndicatd TV evangelist. But at a life crossroads, he lays down his opportunity at celebrity, even his own life, for his wife and troubled daughter.

D.B. Sweeney (Miracle at St. Anna, Eight Men Out, The Cutting Edge) stars with Renee O'Connor (Xena) co-starring as his wife.

"D.B. (who most recently completed a recurring role in 24 and the feature Fencewalker) brings an authenticity and deep soulfulness to every performance, which are qualities essential in the portrayal of Adam Wells, an austere preacher who discovers for the first time the meaning of the message he's been preaching all his life," says writer/director Andrew Librizzi.

Beyond the Farthest Star has already received critical for its screenplay with multi-layered characters and an inspirational story, and is set for a Christmas 2010 release.

Shoeless Joe Comes to Leonard

By which I mean: D.B. Sweeney, who played Shoeless Joe Jackson in John Sayles's 1988 adaptation of Eliot Asinof's book Eight Men Out, and Leonard, Texas, a tiny town up in Fannin County. So happens that just as we were writing about all the TV shows shooting around town, locally based indie film production company Pathlight was signing up Sweeney to play a small-town Texas preacher for a film called Beyond the Farthest Star. Joining him in the cast: Lou Beatty Jr. and Renee O'Connor, the Houston native best known as Xena's sidekick.

Ben Robinson, who's handling PR for the production company, says the movie's set to begin shooting for four weeks on March 8 and will indeed use a mostly local cast and crew rolling cameras "in and around Dallas," as well as up in Fannin County. Producers had considered shooting in New Mexico or Louisiana, but stuck with North Texas for various reasons: Writer-director Andrew Librizzi is a native Texan, and, says Robinson, Pathlight took advantage of the state's recently implemented incentive package that pays a little extra percentage-wise to productions that film in "an underutilized or economically distressed area of Texas." Says Robinson, "There are more incentives to shoot in small towns." Which sounds like a line out of a Jim Thompson novel, unless it films in Oklahoma.

Way more than 'Gabrielle'

‘Warrior Princess’ star Renee O’Connor’s latest role brings her to North Texas

Renee O’Connor
Renee O’Connor is best known for the six seasons she spent playing Gabrielle, the scene-stealing sidekick to Lucy Lawless’ Xena on the wildly popular television series Xena: Warrior Princess.

The series’ two strong female lead characters — and the unabashedly loving relationship between them — earned Xena a huge and very loyal lesbian following. And even now, nine years after the series ended, those fans keep the story and its characters alive through online fan sites, online fan fiction and conventions.

But it would be a huge mistake to just think of O’Connor forever as Gabrielle, the spunky bard, according to Benjamin Dane, a North Texas-based actor who is producer of Beyond the Farthest Star, a movie in which O’Connor co-stars.

The movie, which has been filming on location in Leonard, Texas, is the story of a minister (Todd Terry), who was a child prodigy preacher, and his wife Maureen (played by O’Connor), who is trying to come to terms with some long-held secrets as her husband is forced to decide between rekindling his once-promising career and mending his family as it frays and begins to fall apart.

“She is so talented,” Dane says of O’Connor. “She is just so wonderful to work with. And she really digs deep into the character to bring out all the layers.”

O’Connor says she was drawn immediately to the character of the preacher’s wife.

“The script is just amazing. It is so unusual to find a lead female character that is so deep and complex,” she says. “I was really affected by Maureen’s feeling of not being worthy of being loved by God, by her feeling that she doesn’t hold much value in the world. But the great part is that she is able to find her true self.”

O’Connor is thrilled to be able to work with the cast and crew on Beyond the Farthest Star, especially its writer/director, Andrew Librizzi.

“Andrew is an amazing director,” she says. “I would say I have worked with less than five directors who are as good as he is. He has an incredible gift. A lot of times as an actor, you’re on your own [when it comes to fleshing out a character]. But Andrew not only respects the actors’ work, he also takes it and lifts it up to another level.”

O’Connor has been busy since her post-Xena days. Some recent projects include a starring role in Fitful (described as “suspenseful thriller with a dark comedic twist”), a part in the action movie Bitch Slap (alongside Xena alum Lawless) and a starring role in the comedy Diamonds and Guns.

She has also been just as busy behind the camera. She wrote, directed, produced and acted in the short Words Unspoken, now making the rounds on the festival circuit, and she directed and produced Diamonds and Guns.

O’Connor credits her loyal fans from her days as Gabrielle with helping make it all happen.

“The fans have been so kind to me, and I can’t say enough how grateful I am that they are still following my career. They are so very strong and loving and kind,” she said. “Not everyone will respond to everything I do. But I believe it is because of those fans that I have been able to do so much.”

But she’s not quite sure what’s up next for her.

“I’m working on several projects right now. Two are almost done. I’m just waiting to see what pops first,” she says. “I’m looking for character pieces filled with real people with real, human obstacles to overcome. But I like romantic comedies, too. I am surrounded by so many creative people, you just never know what’s going to pop up next.”

The Cast
The ‘Beyond’ cast is a host of acclaimed actors! From an international star who doubles as a warrior princess to a celebrated anime character voiceover artist...

Goodbye Leonard!
After three weeks, the production waved goodbye to the small town of 2,095 and headed for the streets of Big D! It was a huge company move. The headquarters for the production company was graciously provided by First Baptist Church. It was where the cast changed clothes and completed all makeup transitions, before dispersing to one of many Leonard shoot locations. It is also where the entire cast and crew were well fed by the culinary talents of Shorty’s Texas Catering, with tasty morning breakfasts by Pastor Rob Gore. We will miss the people of Leonard. They were very hospitable and opened their city up to an unknown entity called ‘Beyond’. We will miss Robin and her family at the motel, the DQ, the police, Eddie, Anne Robinson and countless other folks. This wonderful little town is the heart of “Beyond The Farthest Star.” There is so much character and warmth in this city northeast of the metroplex. The story would not be the same without your gift to us. (See the new Behind The Scenes video, “Shooting The Wells’ House” on the site and pictured above.)

View The Todd Terry Interview Now!
Now you can view our first cast interview at BeyondTheFarthestStar.com! Todd Terry stars as Adam Wells in the film. Todd, who was the producers’ local choice for the role, had to step in at the last minute and replace the lead actor from Los Angeles. It was a huge undertaking but Todd tackled the role and our film is stronger due to his powerful performance. Renee O'Connor, playing Maurene Wells, and Todd have dynamic synergy on screen and are the center of the story. Todd also was the lead in Pathlight Entertainment’s award winning, “Still Born” and he took home the Best Actor award for his performance at the 2009 Project 168 competition. Todd has chosen to stay in the Texas area with his family, instead of pursuing a career in Los Angeles but has worked constantly at his craft. He is known for roles in the critically praised, “Arlington Road” with Tim Robbins, the villain in “Cadillac Jack” and the recent independent film, “Fissure.” He also just finished roles in series, “Breaking Bad” and “Friday Night Lights.” When he isn’t acting, Todd runs a real estate business in Dallas.
