The Slugline
Grief may conquer him... Fear may ruin him... But everything changes... When Love Walks In
The Synopsis
Irresponsible... Distant... Self-serving...
These are the snapshots that describe John Redgrave (Kent C. Williamson). But that’s before his wife (Melissa Dawn Bryant) dies
and leaves him alone to raise their three-year-old daughter (Savannah Grace).
Emotionally devastated, John attempts to pick up the pieces of his shattered life as his overzealous father (Bill Williamson) rushes
him to find a mother for his little girl. He could fall for Annelise Machiavelli (Maggie Jones), the aspiring artist he’s hired as a
baby-sitter, but his lingering grief continues to make him hesitant and uncertain about committing to a new relationship. Though
Annelise stands ready to teach him that even tragedy can open the door to new opportunity, self-doubt, selfish ambition, and a
crazy potential mother-in-law (Terri Moore) always seem to get in the way.
Grief may conquer him... Fear may ruin him... But everything changes... When Love Walks In
The Plot
Told through the eyes of three-year-old Sierra Redgrave, the story of When Love Walks In is one of family tragedy, struggle, and
eventual restoration. Tension and unrest describe the marriage of Sierra’s parents, John and Linda Redgrave, as John’s apathy
and self-interest distance him as a husband and father.
John’s world is shaken, however, when a tragic accident claims Linda’s life and leaves him to raise Sierra alone with only the help
of his aging father, Art Redgrave. Having experienced his own grief through his wife’s losing-battle with cancer, Art encourages
John to move past the sorrow to begin rebuilding a life for himself and his daughter.
In the midst of urging John to move on, Art finds himself rushing into a new stage of life—a budding relationship with a slightly
neurotic woman named Nora Machievelli. As Art falls deeper into love, John falls deeper into depression, unable to loosen his grip
on the grief and guilt that surround Linda’s death.
As a result, Art and Nora begin their plot to unite John with Nora’s daughter, Anna, an aspiring actress who is also the prime
candidate to fill the position of Sierra’s babysitter. Reluctant to begin another relationship, John wavers in his interest for Anna,
fighting what ultimately becomes an increasingly complicated attraction to her.
On the journey toward personal redemption, John Redgrave finds himself in an unpredictable narrative of family and friends,
where the grief that could drive them apart may prove to be the very tie that binds them together...

The Brothers Williamson
KENT C. WILLIAMSON
BRAD WILLIAMSON
Brad Williamson and Kent C. Williamson comprise the duo known as The Brothers Williamson. Born and
raised on the border of Mexico, they both grew up eating jalapeños and seeing the world through the lens of
the camera. Their first collaboration resulted in the feature motion picture When Love Walks In, “a believable,
tender love story” that has audiences laughing, crying and saying things like “I really couldn’t stop smiling.
It was touching and real.” Kent plays the film’s lead, but keep your eye out for Brad’s cameo as the ex-con.
The Brothers Williamson are also nearing completion on the challenging and thought-provoking documentary
Rebellion of Thought, a critical look at faith in a post-modern world. Brad lives with his wife and four kids on
the shores of Lake Michigan while Kent dwells along the Blue Ridge Mountains with his bride and five.

The Soundtrack
The Soundtrack to the Motion Picture by The Brothers Williamson includes 19 songs by seven artists.
The soundtrack is available in its entirety on the film’s DVD or separately on CD.
TOY O’FERRALL
With her thoughtful lyrics and folksy style, Toy O’Ferrall writes and performs
beautiful music with a “down home” feel--but she doesn’t always do it alone.
Teaming-up with Abigail Harris (the niece of country music star Emmylou
Harris), Toy has found the perfect partner to compliment her unique style.
Toy and Abigail met in Charlottesville, Virginia and first played at a variety
of gatherings from kickball tournaments to pancake breakfasts. Currently,
Abigail teaches Spanish and sings in Nashville, Tennessee while Toy
studies poetry and performs in Greensboro, North Carolina.

TERRI ALLARD
Terri Allard has an extraordinary talent for capturing the human spirit in her songs, and with
power-packed vocals and infectious energy she has the uncanny ability of moving her audiences
to pin-drop silence. The Virginia based singer-songwriter has taken her rootsy blend of folk,
country, and acoustic pop to countless clubs, coffeehouses and festivals throughout the U.S.
She has performed on popular festival stages around the country and has also received
nominations for seven WAMMIES (Washington Area Music Association Awards), winning

STONE KITCHEN
Based out of Richmond, Virginia, the five-man band Stone Kitchen is known for its
attractive melodies and lyrical storytelling. Though the band members began with little
formal training, they steadily progressed from casual apartment jam-sessions to regular
public appearances at some notable venues, earning a following of loyal fans in the
process. With increasingly sophisticated instrumentation and an interesting style,
Stone Kitchen is a band that’s sure to catch your attention and hold-on to it for a
while.

The Soundtrack (Continued)

Guitar), and Bill Jeffords (Drums). The trio met in church while playiing with another band, then
branched off to form Messenger. Dave’s written poetry since grade school. Dan’s been a studio

ELYSIAN SKIES
With a little attention to detail, listeners will be quick to discover that the Los Angeles-based Elysian
Skies is a modern rock band with plenty of substance. Beneath the aggressive sound of acoustic
guitar-driven ballads, lead-singer Keith Giles offers lyrics that fuse Biblical truth with modern-day
trials--a feat accomplished so genuinely and poetically that its result is refreshingly far from Christian
cliché. And though the band has yet to receive nationwide notoriety, Elysian Skies has succeeded in
gaining much positive support from some well-respected players in the music industry.
What Can Never Be Replaced, Broken, and Tacit Blue - from the album Exquisite Whisper
CARBON LEAF
Established as the hottest act on the Virginia college circuit, the band Carbon Leaf has come a
long way from merely playing local bars and fraternity parties. Along with the accomplishment of
six successful albums, the Virginia-based quintet has also enjoyed such accolades as appearing
before eighty million viewers at the American Music Awards, receiving the first ever Coca-Cola
New Music Award, and touring with headliners John Mayer, Counting Crows, David Gray, and
the Dave Matthews Band. With continued success, Carbon Leaf seems to be on a steady climb
toward national notoriety.
Home and Blue Ridge Laughing - from the album Ether-Electrified Porch Music
STEPHAN PROCK
Stephan Prock is a Lecturer in Music and Director of the New Music Ensemble at The University of Virginia
where he teaches courses in film music and twentieth-century American popular music. He has taught at
The University of Richmond and The College of William and Mary and received his doctorate from Cornell
University where he studied with Steven Stucky and Karel Husa. In March 2002 he was selected to take part
in the first annual Minnesota Orchestra Reading Sessions and Composer Institute for emerging composers
headed by composer Aaron Jay Kernis.
