Montgomery County Stars In Series Dealing With Mental Health

CONROE, TX — A film crew with a faith-based production studio is filming popular locations in Montgomery County as part of an 8-episode television series spotlighting mental health awareness.

Reflective Media Productions is filming at several area businesses in Montgomery County and Conroe as part of its series called "Breaking Strongholds," according to a report in Community Impact News.

Breaking Strongholds isn’t just being filmed in Montgomery County, but the story line is set there too. According to the Reflective Media Productions webpage, the story is set in Montgomery and involves a beloved teacher who goes missing, the detective assigned to find her, and a self-help guru who comes to town and brings hundreds of his followers that after only a short time, casts a dark and ominous pall over the community.

To make the series a lot more believable, real-life local businesses such as God’s Garage, Spirit of Texas Bank, the Hodge Podge Lodge, and many others will appear in the series. Even a few local figures, such as Justice of the Peace Wayne Mack, will make an appearance, Community Impact reported.

"We’ve got to raise awareness—behavioral health and suicide in our communities is a silent epidemic… We need to break that stronghold; we need to break that silence," Mack said.
