Inspired by the true story of Travis Andre Ross, who grew up in a trailer park at a truck stop in California’s Central Valley, Central Valley offers a raw and personal lens into a rarely depicted region. The film stars Emmy-nominated Gabrielle Walsh (Found, Paranormal Activity, 9-1-1, Vampire Diaries) and Joseph David-Jones (Detroit, Allegiant, Arrow, Nashville). Shot entirely in the Central Valley—a region ranked among the top 10 in the nation for meth and opioid use—the film sheds light on its struggles while celebrating its resilience and beauty. Backed by strong community support and local press, the film sold out screenings nationwide, including a 550-seat theater in Modesto, CA. Central Valley has earned multiple honors: 2 Best Picture, 2 Audience Choice, and 2 Best Actor awards.
