The anticipated production of The North Star, a
feature film to be shot on location in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, will be holding its Major Casting Call Sunday June 24, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 22 South Main Street in Doylestown.
Actor/Producer, Clifton Powell (Ray, Norbert, Rush
Hour, Friday After Next) will be in attendance along with Writer/Director Thomas Phillips, Executive Producer Dave DeLellis and the Producing team of
Jesse James Jackson, Jr. and Nathan File of Jersey Style Films Inc.
Thus far, Powell has cast Lynn Whitfield (HBO’s Josephine Baker Story), Michael Jai White (Spawn, Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?), Michael Rappaport (Hitch, The
6th Day) and Keith David (Platoon, Crash, The Thing, ATL).
The North Star, a dramatic depiction of the perilous journey to freedom made by two escaped slaves, is set in 1850 during the time of the Underground Railroad.
It is the story of passionate men and women, black and white, risking their lives to save those fleeing the horrific fate of forced servitude.
Based on true life characters, the epic North Star is destined to become an American Classic.
Thomas Phillips, who researched and wrote the script, and Executive Producer Dave DeLellis are proud Bucks County residents and feel fortunate to have assembled a team consisting of Two Retired Military Drill Instructors/ Film
Producers from New Jersey, Jesse James Jackson, Jr. and Nathan File to organize and execute the production.

Attended the auditions today. Beautifully organized and very professional. A great job was done by all. The passion which was displayed with regards to the sensitive nature of the film was expressed early on in order to make it clear the importance of telling this story. Wishing you all the best of luck with your production! -

Be on the lookout for an unknown -- Jessica Gondwe -- who sings Deep River in this
amazing film based on true American history. This singer sends chills down (or up) your spine and leaves the audience misty-eyed.
