David Boreanaz

une 15, 2007 - A piece of Westchester University’s campus has been transformed into a movie set. Our Lady of Victory started filming back in May and features an all star cast... including homegrown David Boreanaz, son of our own Dave Roberts.

Boreanaz told Action News, "To come back and see my family and work here is more than I could ask for at this particular time."

Pat Croce and Tim Chambers’ film company partnered with Philadelphia Film Office to make this move. It is based on the true Cinderella story of the Immaculate University women’s basketball team and their inspiring journey to the 1972 national championship.

"An independent film made here in Philadelphia as opposed to a studio movie made in LA? Nah... We want it right here," said Pat Croce.

Carla Gugino plays coach Cathy Rush. Boreanaz plays her husband, Ed Rush.

In fact, Boreanaz tells us, "It just so happens that I knew Ed Rush. He used to take me to basketball games ... 6 degrees."

David isn’t the only local talent cast in the film. Supporting actress Lauren Karl, who plays a student, was born and raised in Westchester. "I think it’s great because it takes place here and I think Philadelphia has a lot people need to see," says Karl.

There has been a recent push from area leaders to make Philadelphia a destination for big screen productions. This crew says there’s no better city.

As Croce puts it, "Night Shamylain started it. This city has everything!"
