The Barn, LLC, an Arizona production company whose managing member is Bradley Gregg, is currently in the funding process for production of the independent film, "Cedars of Lebanon." The Company hopes to start shooting in the summer of 2007 and has already started communications with notable talent.

"Cedars of Lebanon" is a story of two latch key kids. The film tracks two brother's lives as they mature from early childhood to adulthood in the Los Angeles of the 1970s through the 1990s. It is a character driven drama that explores the progression and consequences of dysfunction in one American family. The film sheds light on the plight of a single mother and her boys who lack a father's love. "Cedars of Lebanon" is a bittersweet tale of redemption that communicates a life-affirming message, celebrating hope, reconciliation and unconditional love.

Bradley Gregg, the author of the film, is a director, editor, writer, and actor. As an actor, Mr. Gregg has appeared in 20 feature films, including "Stand By Me," "The Fisher King," "Fire In The Sky," and "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade," television movies, series and mini-series including "Lonesome Dove," "O Pioneers," "E.R.," and "The Pretender." He has directed and edited several award winning films and documentaries including, the award-winning documentary short film "Journey To Jemima," "Behind The Scenes: The Making of Whiskey Lullaby," featuring Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, and "The Face Of Freedom -- Series One: 14 Days In America," which was recently honored at the 2006 White Sands Film Festival.

Mr. Gregg, who resides in North Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife and co-producer Dawn, and their five children, has teamed up with Executive Producer Ed Heisler for the production of the "Cedars of Lebanon." When asked about the film, Mr. Heisler recently stated, "Cedars of Lebanon" is a film that will touch and entertain a broad audience. Its story line is addictive and the film delivers a message that will leave a lasting impression on many who see it." Mr. Gregg continued by saying, "The Independent Film Industry is thriving and continues to grow. This year alone four out of the five films nominated for the Academy Award were Independent Films. I feel strongly that 'Cedars of Lebanon' will deliver."
