Movie to be filmed in Lima

LIMA — Matthew Sanders is making a movie in Lima. He has been writing for about five years. He has written screenplays, filmed some documentaries and published some books. Film making is his secret love.

“We are looking for inspired actors and actresses to come out and be a part of this greatness.”

Beautiful Minds Creations are hosting auditions for the movie “Up The Score” from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5th at 941 W. Spring St., Lima.

Talent call back would be at the end of the month or the beginning of December to make sure no contacts are missed. Production is scheduled start in January.

Sanders has a business relationship with a man who owns a company that produces five to six movies a year. He was told to “shoot the movie and call me back. Let’s go over numbers and I’ll license you through my company.”

Sanders said, ” It’s just, get the quality. Everything I’ve done, it’s always quality. Some things may not have gone where I wanted it to go, but it was quality.”

Sanders has released videos entitled “Why do Men Cheat” and “Child Support the Scorn or the Absent.”

Describing his film “Child Support the Scorn or the Absent,” Sanders said “I wanted to bring the light on a very controversial topic by interviewing real people that are and have gone through the silent struggles of this situation. Making people informed on what the child support system really is and how it’s utilized. This film is very relatable for many who aren’t courageous enough or embarrassed to speak out on the topic.”

Sanders has written the book “The Truth of a Lost Soul.” He co-authored the book “Just Like Daddy” with his daughter Sanaii Sanders.

Originally from Oxnard, California, Sanders relocated to Lima after a stint in the military. He says his greatest achievements are being a father and a husband.
