Farm Story

An independent television pilot directed and produced by Jessica Ammirati & written and produced by Terri Viani

Mired in debt and other middle-class disasters, an emotionally moth-eaten forty-year old NYC writer, her unemployed husband and his disabled brother cut and run for supposedly greener pastures in “fairy-tale” small-town Station Stop, Virginia, only to find themselves accidentally living on an old farm in the sticks of Virginia, in a town called Chicken, instead.

A coming of age tale for the forty-something set, Farm Story is an independent television show that follows the life of New York City writer, Sam, her unemployed husband, Andy, and his disabled brother, Kyle who think they’re moving to a job and a house in “fairy-tale” small-town Station Stop, VA, only to find themselves with no job, no house, and accidentally living in a cottage on an old farm Chicken, Virginia.

In the fall of 2014, GTTP assembled a cast and crew of about 30 people and made their first foray into television production, filming the pilot episode, of the one hour drama series. The show features Julia Haubner Smith as Sam, Logan James Hall as Andy, and Eric Percival as Kyle. Below are the trailer and some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot.
