Local Production Company Brings Hollywood Talent to Columbus!

Three Dog Films, a Columbus-based production company will be working with known Hollywood actors for their upcoming film.

Columbus natives David Sabbath and Alex Esber are coming home and they’re taking a little bit of Hollywood back with them. In conjunction with Three Dog Films, Sabbath’s Columbus-based production company, writer/director Sabbath and producer Esber are bringing to life the “God Don’t Make the Laws” in the Ohio area. Filming wrapped on December 1st to the 22nd, 2010.

New York City-based Lucas Salvagno and Ella Rae Peck will star as the lead characters supported by a cast of big screen veterans: Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas, The Firm), Robert Prescott (Michael Clayton, Burn After Reading), and Bruce Davidson (X-Men, Runaway Jury). All additional roles will be cast with talent from Central Ohio and New
York City.

The story takes place in the small, picturesque town of Rockwell. It is the perfect place to live… almost. There is no crime, sickness or death in Rockwell. Everybody lives and nothing ever changes. But you can’t ever leave.

God Don’t Make the Laws is the first Sabbath screenplay to be made into a full-length movie and its production marks a homecoming for both Sabbath and Esber who are residents of the historic German Village, which will be a featured location in the movie. Filming will
primarily be in Licking County with locations set in Newark, Alexandria, and Granville. Additional filming will take place in and around Columbus.
