Two sisters from Mississippi are bringing more representation to the film industry in the state. Producers Amy and Ashley Gibson spent The Weekend shooting a short film with a film crew in Belhaven this weekend. The film is called "Hotaru" — Japanese for firefly. It's set in the 90s and will be told through the eyes of a 10-year-old girl. "We were 90s kids so we wanted to bring back when kids played outside and there wasn’t social media and it’s also a story about grief and how children grieve and how families in general deal with grief," Ashley Gibson said.The filmmakers said it's a story many can relate to. The crew spent the weekend shooting the heart of the film, which is being directed by Herman Johnson, with Story Mode Productions."Grief is something taken in a different manner in the black community," Johnson said. "I wanted to display that in the film, and I wanted to express how people grieve in different ways." It's a collective goal to showcase the talent Mississippi has to offer."There's not much opportunity here in Mississippi, which is why I wanted to come back home to film here, to give Mississippi actors opportunity to be in a movie," Amy Gibson said. The producers plan to wrap up production and begin submitting their work to film festivals and different streaming platforms. They will premiere the movie in Mississippi.
