A 1991 Geneva High School graduate has produced a recently released movie for Sony Pictures that shines light on homelessness, mental illness.
Geneva native Doug Shaffer is happy that a movie he produced starring Anna Camp and Rob Mayes is helping shed a light on such important issues as mental illness and homelessness.
"He had a schizophrenic breakdown, left the family and became homeless," Shaffer said."He was on the streets of Dallas. Essentially, she and her son had to start over. In the process of searching for him, she started to connect with the local homeless people." "5000 Blankets" is nominated for an award. Winners will be announced on Feb. 10 during the 30th annual Movieguide Awards, which will honor the best of family-friendly movies and television programs and spiritually uplifting entertainment.

We had 17 days to shoot and she was in almost every single scene. She had some long days and she just rocked it.""He in a lot of ways kind of carries the emotional weight of the movie and he was just fantastic," Shaffer said."I love the message, I love the message of purpose," Shaffer said.
