Film Project Launches New Partnership for Meredith College

Meredith College was a filming location for A Good Fight, an upcoming movie produced by White Lightning Studios this summer. The film production is the start of a new partnership between Meredith and the North Carolina-based studio.

Production took place in a variety of locations on Meredith’s 225-acre campus, including in the Johnson Hall administration building, Jones Auditorium, McIver Amphitheater, and Cate Student Center. Meredith students, employees, and alumnae were also invited to be background extras during some of the scenes.

The College’s work with White Lightning Studios will continue after the filming wraps. Meredith College President Aimee Sapp is looking forward to additional opportunities that this new partnership will bring.

“Our partnership with White Lightning Studios has the potential to benefit our campus community in many ways in the short and long term,” Sapp said. “The production company will work with Meredith to bring additional opportunities that will help raise the College’s profile and maximize use of our campus facilities.”

Robert Rippberger, a partner in White Lightning Studios, directed A Good Fight. Rippberger said the studio is honored to partner with Meredith College.

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to build meaningful ties with the local creative community, while creating real-world learning opportunities for the next generation of storytellers,” Rippberger said.
