BOLIVAR, Mo. — Southwest Baptist University
alumna Megan (Parker) Wilson will be featured in an upcoming film, “Seasons of
Gray,” set to be released to theaters in September.
“Seasons
of Gray” is the inaugural production of Watermark Films, which is the feature
film ministry of Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas. The film will be
distributed by EchoLight Studios, which produces and distributes high-quality
movies for families of faith. “Seasons of Gray” is a modern-day retelling of
the biblical story of Joseph with a strong storyline of forgiveness and God’s
providence. The official trailer for the film can be found online at www.seasonsofgray.com.
Wilson
graduated from SBU in 2009 with a bachelor of arts in Speech Communication and
Theatre. While at SBU she performed in “Everyman,” “The Triangle Factory Fire
Project,” “Last Train to Nibroc,” “Little Women” (Amy), and “Fiddler on the
Roof” (Yente). She was also the student director for “The Burial at Thebes.”
Wilson received a nomination for the Irene Ryan acting scholarship for her
performance as Amy in “Little Women.”
During
the 2009 spring semester, Wilson participated in the Los Angeles Film Studies
Center through the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities’ Best
Semester program. While in LA she interned at 20th Century Fox
Feature Casting Office. Wilson had a small role in “Aliens in the Attic,” which
filmed during her semester at LAFSC.
Wilson
is grateful for her experiences at SBU and says, “The SBU Theatre program
taught me that we don’t have to sacrifice quality for Christianity. As
believers, we should be the best storytellers in the realm of fine art; after
all, we have the greatest story to tell.”
Meg
married Nathan Wilson after graduation from SBU. They live in Dallas and are involved
