ATLANTA, GA September 22, 2010 Onyx Pearl is pleased to announce the feature film adaptation of the novel And Yet, You Still Chose Me, by co-author Kimberly Ray, will be filmed in Savannah next summer.

Set in a poverty-stricken small town near Savannah, the film follows the life of Shelley MacDonald, a naive little girl with big dreams of going to college. But one dreadful night, the unimaginable takes place that spirals her innocent world into mayhem, rips her family apart, and catapults her on a self-destructive journey into womanhood as the barriers to a better life stack against her, and going to college becomes an elusive goal.
Principal photography for the film is scheduled to begin in May/June of 2011.
Casting for the film will be held in Savannah, Georgia on October 2 & 3, 2010; Atlanta, Georgia on October 30 & 31, 2010; and Los Angeles, California on November 13 & 14, 2010.
