LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!

As the Golden Globe Awards kick off the annual film awards season this weekend, it’s the perfect excuse to roll out the red carpet for Louisville—because our city has been stealing scenes for years. From big, buzzy releases like The Insider and Secretariat to indie thrillers that pack a punch like Mom and Dad and Rust Creek, the Derby City has proven it can play just about any role. And with Gus Van Sant’s upcoming Dead Man’s Wire adding to the local film legacy, there’s never been a better time to celebrate the movies made right here at home.
