Jim Reed moved to Caledonia for a year — that was eight years ago now.
Reed was working with another director, Jon Amiel, who has directed movie hits like "Sommersby" with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere. But then as had happened several times before, life intervened. "April 19 -- an event called Columbine happened. In short, it shut us down and the director put it on hold. The producer, Norman Jewison, who has done Moonstruck and Fiddler on the Roof (and who passed away in January of 2024) said we got caught in development hell."
