Keep your head on a swivel, Snellvillians — you may see some camera crews (and celebrities) around town.

According to a news release posted on the city of Snellville's website:

After being the backdrop for the AMC television series "Halt and Catch Fire," the city is once again in the spotlight, this time on the silver screen.

Local actress and producer Francine Locke is currently producing "Inseparable" a psychological thriller being filmed in and around Snellville.

"Inseparable" will be a short film about the unbreakable bond a mother has with her child. Lead character Dina Hewitt, played by Locke, has lost her daughter (Taylor Lyons), as well as her memory, and her psychiatrist, Dr. Key (Michael McClendon), is dedicated to helping Dina uncover the secrets that lead to a shocking conclusion.

Locke is perhaps best known for playing Avery's mom on the show "Nashville."

"The goodwill and enthusiasm we've been shown as we move forward speaks volumes about bringing more films to Snellville," she said in the news release. "Special thanks to Mayor Tom Witts and his great city for the support. There is always a mystique surrounding film production, but the truth is, we couldn't do it without a dedicated group of people who are there to support and help where ever they can."

Snellville Arts Commission Public Relations Director Alisa Boykin "has secured several site locations and partnerships with various businesses throughout the city for the project," city officials said.
