Bob Dylan -

"Cross the Green Mountain" Music Video

Kevin Hershberger and many members of the LionHeart FilmWorks team worked on this Bob Dylan music video in December 2002. It was a one day shoot in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetary. Kevin was contacted by the producers and Director, Tom Kreuger only three days before the shoot to put together all of the sets, props, costumes, re-enactors, actors, etc. Kevin and LionHeart FilmWorks served as a "one-stop-shop" for the producers and the video turned out even better than the movie itself! Can you recognize "Wicked Spring's" star, Brian Merrick playing Bob Dylan's dying brother in this video?
