Owl Creek Productions will begin filming “An
Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” in Wilmington, North Carolina. Based on the classic American short story by
Ambrose Bierce, the production company has worked to create a film that loses
none of the original plot’s masterful blend of suspense, intrigue, and
unexpected horror.
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a story set in the deep South during the
American Civil War. It is a story
about a man, Peyton Farquhar, who by ‘circumstances of an imperious nature’ was
unable to take service in the
gallant Southern armies. An original secessionist and ardent follower of the
Southern cause, Peyton Farquhar
did what he could in support of an independent Confederacy.
