Some big names in movies have been in Arkansas making silver screen magic.

I am fascinated with film. I love movies and I love the process it takes to make them. As much as I love radio, I always say that my dream job is making movie trailers. The thought of taking a full length film and captivating an audience in just a few short minutes excites me. I'm also borderline obsessed with old Hollywood.

But that's beside the point.

All that being said, I get giddy when I hear about big name celebrities being in our area doing what they do best . . . making movies. There have been quite a few big names and big films that have been made in Arkansas. I found a long list of films shot in our state at OnlyInYourState.com and saw that some of my favorite actors have been in Arkansas.

**Note: Not all of these trailers may be appropriate for everyone.
