Writer and director Mark Bork debuts a new romantic comedy celebrating Scottsdale and the community. FOX 10's Annalisa Pardo learns more about the movie featuring 100 local actors and supporting the nonprofit, GiGi's Playhouse.

Scottsdale is getting a starring role of its own. Underneath the Glittery Moon, a romantic comedy featuring an entirely local cast and crew, will make its world premiere October 15 at 7 p.m. at the Virginia G. Piper Theater at Scottsdale Center for the Arts.

The film was written and directed by Valley resident Mark Bork, who brought together a cast of 30 actors along with executive producers Marilyn and James Dean, Jim and Tami Paxton, and Jason and Paige Vickers.

A local filmmaker set out to make a movie about connection, love and community. In the process, the making of the film created the very kind of community his story celebrates.

“Underneath the Glittery Moon” is about people coming together through a fictional Scottsdale theater and discovering relationships across generations. Behind the camera, writer and director Mark Bork brought together local actors, crew members, businesses, organizations and people of all ages to produce his first feature film.
