2012 has been a big year for movie production in Winston-Salem. Earlier this year, Winston-Salem hosted the filming of You Are Here — starring Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianikis and Amy Poehler and written by Mad Men creator, Matthew Weiner. During that time, crews were also filming Susie’s Hope in the West End neighborhood of Winston-Salem. Susie’s Hope is about the true story of Donna, a survivor of a horrific pit bull attack, who then adopts a pit bull-mix puppy, Susie, that has been beaten, set on fire and left for dead. They heal together and learn to forgive as they lead an historic effort to seek justice and protection for all animals, resulting in Susie’s Law – stricter laws against animal abusers.
