Possible Film Production in The County, “AMNESIA” Returns to Caribou

The film, “amnesia,” will be shown at the Caribou Performing Arts Center on October 29^th at 7:00 pm. The film, produced by county-native John W. Bosley, toured throughout Maine this past July. Bosley will be visiting area leaders in pursuance of the possible production of his next film, “The House,” within Aroostook County.

The film, “amnesia,” is Part One of “The Allan Carter Saga,” a three film series. Eighty percent of the film was shot within Maine, while the remaining twenty percent was shot in Michigan and Colorado.

“I wanted to give the people in The County one last chance to see the film while we are in search of a distributor,” Bosley explained. “We felt that the tour, being held in the summer, didn’t give an adequate chance for many people to see it. Fall seems to be the best time to show it again.”

Brenda Jepson, the teacher for Caribou’s video productions class, helped to encourage Bosley’s talents and interest in filmmaking. Jepson was one of the number one reasons that Bosley came back to the area in July.

“‘amnesia’ is gripping from the first moment to the last…,” Jepson commented after she saw the film. “I would encourage anyone to watch this film with its fast pacing, spellbinding scenes and compelling story.”

Bosley hopes to produce his next film, “The House,” in Aroostook County and has been in discussion with several businesses and organizations about how to shoot it in The County instead of producing it outside of Maine. There are many other states in the country that offer tax incentive programs to lure in filmmakers. Maine doesn’t have a competitive tax incentive program, so it doesn’t draw much interest. So far, there has never been a feature-length film produced in Aroostook County.

“Our company slogan, “Join the Revolution,” has evolved since this summer’s tour. I now realize that Aroostook County needs filmmaking,” Bosley explained. “The County is invisible to the general population, filmmaking could be the perfect way to display this extraordinary part of Maine and also showcase the remarkable people living in it. So, we are asking businesses and individuals to ‘Join the Revolution.’”
