As promised, Ben Gavin is back to talk about his recent month on the set of the film, A Place Called Home, written and directed by Kiel Thorlton.
Ben plays a young man named Levi, who after losing his wife during the birth of their second child, finds himself a single father in trouble with a loan shark and in danger of losing his home.
There are countless hurdles in the career of an actor and even if you get the job there is still a cornucopia of compromise... but every once in a while you get a job with so much beauty and heart, it feels like a gift.
Ben walked into an existing set-universe for his character, Levi, to inhabit. His adventure with the passionate cast and crew and writer/director, Kiel Thorlton, was something he had been working toward for the last decade in Hollywood.
