ST AUGUSTINE, Fla., Dec. 31 /Standard Newswire/ --  The movie Grazia, filmed in St. Augustine, Palm Coast and Jacksonville this summer will premiere at the Epic Theaters in St. Augustine on January 21. Portions of the movie slated to be filmed in Italy were recast for Palm Coast's European Village Resort.

St. Augustine, Florida, the primary setting for the novel Grace is also the on-location set for the movie. In the 1960's the book's author Wendell Vanderbilt Fountain chose the quaint, picturesque, St. Augustine as the setting for his book. The plot is a heartfelt love story laced with suspense based on a true story. 
Producer Shan Wafford intentionally sought out locals the project. "By using as many as possible from north Florida and St. Augustine as actors and extras we will bring higher level of realism to the story, said Wafford.
Fountain added, "Many famous and popular portions of St. Augustine will be featured in the film, just as they were in the book.  While the locals who perform in the movie have an excellent opportunity to showcase their acting abilities and become stars in their own right, I believe that the city of St. Augustine itself is a 'star' of this movie."   
Fountain continued, "It's time for a substantive movie about true love, human condition, and life experience to be brought to the screen. Though it is not a movie consisting of numerous high-tech special effects, it is a movie about passion and the power of true love. I believe Grazia will rank among such superlative films as Casablanca (1942), An Affair to Remember (1957), Love Story (1970), The Way We Were (1973), and Ghost (1990)."
The trailer for Grazia was shot in St. Augustine between July 8 and July 13 of 2009, is available online at www.graziafilm.com.  
Dr. Wendell Vanderbilt Fountain of Fountain & Associates and Shannon (Shan) Wafford of Snow Productions located in San Diego, California formed Fountain-Wafford Productions, a collaborative effort to bring to life an independent, high quality, low-budget, feature film called "Grazia" which is based on the novel Grace by Fountain,  published by AuthorHouse.  The film was produced by Fountain, and Wafford served as the film's director.  Wafford and Fountain collaborated on the screenplay.
