Film crew coming to Ada area thanks to 2015 ONU grad
A movie crew will visit the Ada area in June to film a Civil War battle scene.
In hopes of distributing the film nationwide, the director turned to Ohio Northern University graduate, Jordan Kimes (BFA/studio arts ’15) to assist in production.
Kimes, the production manager for the film, “A Spy Not Like Us,” is hoping to begin her film career. She began working on the movie in December, right around graduation.
While a student at Ohio Northern, Jordan double-majored in studio arts (with a concentration in 2D) and theatre design & international production.
She was a standout basketball player, served as a scenic designer for a number of ONU theatre productions, and studied in Estonia for a semester.
She was inducted into the Kappa Pi art honorary and earned Senior Class Honors in studio arts. She is originally from Lexington, Ohio.
