Throughout the weekend, nine actors will be present in different locations to sign autographs and talk about filming the movie. “People love the movie Shawshank Redemption because it’s a movie about hope and friendship,” Jodie Snavely, an organizer of the Shawshank Redemption Anniversary, says. “You’re going to be able to stand in the same locations as Red and Andy and Brooks – that’s what makes it so amazing.” Get your tickets ahead of time, register for the Shawshank Hustle 7K and check for more events being added at www.shaw shanktrail.com. “No place else in the world can say that Shawshank was there,” Snavely says. “This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in these real filming sites and meet actors from everyone’s classical favorite movie.” To register, please visit www.shaw shanktrail.com.
