TheFilmChair.com, with the permission of filmmaker John C. Lyons, is following the Erie, Pa.-based production of Lyons? nursing home drama ?Schism.? Starting with the screenplay and casting to the location and actors, TheFilmChair.com will provide coverage of the production from start to finish.

TheFilmChair.com is working with Lyons because of his status as an important member of the Erie filmmaking community. At the same time as making films, he's actively screening them at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.

TheFilmChair.com will follow Lyons through the entire process of making his first feature film ?Schism.? A film about a man who spends his final days in a nursing home while slipping into dementia, the goal in making the film according the Lyons Den Productions website is "to realistically portray the hard work that the staff does on a daily basis and to show the struggles that the residents experience."

The ?Schism? series is just one more way TheFilmChair.com (and ErieFilm.com) provides in depth coverage of Erie?s filmmaking scene. For more information on local film events visit TheFilmChair.com or on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/thefilmchair.
