Wrightsville, produced in 2015 - 2016,

is available on DVD from the Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce.  Also included on the DVD are three other short films:  GIFT FROM A YANKEE, , LINCOLNVILLE, and REBELS & RAIDERS.

Here is WRIGHTSVILLE, the story of an African-American community outside of Covington.  We rededicate this production to the memory of Dr. Calvin McClinton, who passed away in 2021.  He and his boundless creative energy is missed by the hundreds of his friends and family.
