Filmed in northeast Indiana
Filmed in Steuben and Noble counties in northeast Indiana last year, CAROL is inspired by Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol.”
The movie tells the story of Solomon Lynch (Aaron Fullan), a self-centered slacker and the resident Scrooge of the small, struggling town of Springdale, Indiana. Estranged from his family, Solomon comes face-to-face with the real Ebenezer Scrooge (Paul Kandarian) on Christmas Eve and is taken on a musical journey through his past, present and future.
While the story uses devices and characters from “A Christmas Carol,” it includes its own unique twists and turns, with diverse musical styles, poignant moments and humor throughout the film.
In the end, it will take much more than Christmas spirit for Solomon to make things right.
The movie has won multiple awards, including Best Supporting Actor in a Feature Film for Robert Amaya, who plays Christmas Present, at the recent Purpose Film and Media Festival in Corydon, Indiana.
