Kastor to Produce Boston Film




2004 Olympic Bronze Medalist and American Record Holder Deena Kastor is adding executive producer to her resume.

Kastor has joined the team in producing the film "BOSTON", the first feature film on the history and impact of the Boston Marathon, the world’s oldest contested marathon.

According to the film’s official press release: “This movie is a great opportunity to showcase the historical significance of this race as well as the extraordinary impact is has on the lives of runners,” Kastor said. “I am motivated to bring the Boston Marathon to audiences in a way that inspires runners, creates runners, engages fans and makes all those involved in this race proud of what they’ve created.”

"BOSTON" will be directed by John Dunham of "Spirit of the Marathon" fame and produced by Academy Award nominee Megan Williams.

The Boston Athletic Association has given filmmakers exclusive access to create the piece and the film plans for a 2016 release.
