Last September, Governor Roy Cooper’s office announced that “Hightown” was one of five new productions approved for the state’s Film and Entertainment grants.
The crime drama stars Monica Raymund (“Chicago Fire”) and James Badger Dale (“The Departed,” “World War Z”) and continues the story of a woman’s journey to sobriety that is overshadowed by a murder which she feels convinced she must solve.
This production has been approved for a $12 million grant rebate.
