Lake Effects

Sara Elizabeth Timmins, Producer/
Creative Director Life Out Loud Films

Produced "Lake Effects," a 2011 movie, set
and filmed at Smith Mountain Lake starring
Jane Seymour, Scottie Thompson and
Madeline Zima.

In your opinion, what makes Smith
Mountain Lake so special?

What made SML a great spot for filming
"Lake Effects"?

I would say the people. There are so
many people who have made a conscious
decision to live there, and they take a lot
of pride in their community. It is one of the
most generous communities I've ever been
a part of.

The people embraced us and helped create
that magic in a way that has not been
created since. When you have a community
that gets as excited about a project as the
community here did, it reminds me of how
blessed I am to make films for a living.

Why did you choose to film "Lake
Effects" at SML?

What's one of your favorite memories
from filming at SML?

In our case, it was the location that
inspired the film. I think people go to films
to escape, to get away and feel emotion.
That's what I experienced when I visited the
lake so I wanted to bring that to the film.
The beauty of the lake was a big factor,
for sure, but it was also the collaborative
nature of the community.

We held a contest to find a "lake monster"
to use in the film. We challenged the
community and they all came out on a
specific day to participate. We had about a
dozen entries and it was just so fun to see
what people came up with and how much
effort they put forward. The one we picked is
the actual one you see in the movie.
