Mt. Lebanon Woman Makes Film Here

When Los Angeles movie producer Dana Jackson had to pick a city for the premiere of her independent movie "Park," she didn't hesitate; she chose her hometown.

The Mt. Lebanon native will have the first theater showing of the movie tomorrow at the SouthSide Works Cinema. It is an adult comedy about 10 people whose paths cross during a lunch hour in an out-of-the-way park in Los Angeles.

"I'm just really excited to be back at home and sharing the movie," said Ms. Jackson, a 1985 graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School.
