(Spencer Paterick ’21, assistant editor)<\/p>\n

Students can view a locally made film for free at the Allen Theatre on Monday, Feb. 3, at 7: 30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight Before Your Eyes\u201d is about a newly recovered alcoholic who takes an epic train ride home to visit his young autistic son, whom he has not seen since birth. The movie was written and produced locally by David Vincent Bobb.<\/p>\n

Based on Bobb\u2019s personal life, the movie is set in Harrisburg, PA. The film is described as a \u201cpsychological thriller with religious overtones,\u201d and deals with the true story of his battle with addiction and how he managed to get his life back together through faith at the Bethesda mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more I wrote the more I began to understand who I really was and who I really wanted to be,\u201d Bobb said. \u201cI began to understand my place in this world, and it was clearer than anything I’ve ever experienced in my entire lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along the way, Bobb was faced with many obstacles that come with producing a movie. Directing, producing, raising funds, scheduling actors and crew, weather, equipment, promoting and marketing the film were among the most challenging things that Bobb dealt with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew that we would end up with something very special,\u201d Bobb said. \u201cFrom the first draft of the script to the final scene being edited, I always knew. And that’s what kept fueling the passion even more. When I had nothing left to give, I relied on my Faith to pull me through, much like my story, and it’s never let me down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bobb hopes that the movie will help those who are struggling with addiction and wants people to feel a strong sense of hope after seeing the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to inspire those who suffer from addiction and give them hope,\u201d Bobb said. \u201cI want to let everyone know no matter how bad life can get, no matter how hopeless and lonely you might feel, or how scared you might be, there is always hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Be on the lookout for Jack McNamara, better known to LVC students as \u201cAnnville Jack,\u201d who appears in the film as a background character.<\/p>\n

Students can see the film for free when they show their ID on Monday, Feb. 3 at 7:30. In addition to a free ticket, students will also get a free drink and popcorn, as well as the opportunity to win raffle prizes. Community members are also encouraged to attend the showing.
