Patrick Barnitt couldn't wait to be the bad guy.
Barnitt was in Greer working on the film project "Chronology", which was shooting scenes in downtown Greer.
The Friends of Lake Robinson had one of its most majestic days to lure families and visitors to the 8th Annual Lake Robinson Day of Celebration on Sunday at Verne Smith Park.
Hundreds came out to enjoy the sunshine and beautiful scenery of the lake.
"Chronology" is a film project 10 years in the making and a homecoming of sorts for writer/director/actor and producer Kipp Tribble.
After wrapping up scenes in Poland, cast and crew arrived in Greer this past week, filming through the weekend’s heavy rains and continuing as the skies cleared earlier this week. Wednesday afternoon the cameras rolled in downtown.
“Thursday night, we were shooting in Greenville at the Reedy River – so much had changed since the last time I was there,” Tribble said. “It’s hard to believe that 19 years ago I was shooting my first feature film right there on the river. I went out to L.A. and sold it and moved out there in 1999.”
A psychological mystery is gripping downtown Greer. And no one knows whodunit.
It’s safe to assume that William Baldwin or Danny Trejo know. Apparently the Greer Police Department plays a role, too.
