Hollywood Producer Comes Home To Show New Movie In Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA —Looking for something exciting to do on Thanksgiving Eve?

The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville is hosting a private showing of "DIG," a thriller produced by Chester Springs' native Grady Craig.

Craig, a graduate of The Hill School, Pottstown, returns to his hometown from Los Angeles for a free showing of his independent film.

The proceeds will go to Hobart’s Run, a nonprofit working to revitalize Pottstown.

Craig, vice president of business development and operations at BondIt Media Capital and executive producer at Buffalo 8, said The Hill School and the Pottstown area helped him pursue his ambitions to become a film producer.

He is a graduate of Boston College, where he earned dual degrees in economics and film studies with a concentration in entrepreneurship.

“Through this event, I’m choosing to support Hobart’s Run, an initiative created by The Hill School in 2016, as a way of giving back to the community that facilitated the earliest steps of my journey,” said Craig, a 2014 graduate of The Hill School.

Hobart’s Run is dedicated to fostering inclusivity, providing incentives for homeownership and property pride, and generating quality business development in Pottstown.

“DIG” stars Thomas Jane, an actor in “Boogie Nights”, and Emile Hirsch, an actor starring in “Into the Wild.”

"DIG" is about a widowed father and his daughter whose house is up for demolition and are taken hostage by a dangerous couple, who won’t stop until they retrieve what is under the property. The trailer is available here.

The showing at 5 p.m. Wednesday is free and donations are encouraged through Venmo @mediaforge. Reservations are required and are available here.
