Carl Zurhorst
Acting on stage or on film in a lead role is not new for "Barefoot's" teen James, brother of Ellie (a.k.a. Carl Zurhorst - remember him from the Hollywood film, " 12 Dogs Of Christmas" ) In his younger days he called his sister " a singer with a hog-calling voice", but over the years he realized her talents and had opportunity to promote her everywhere he went around the world.
Watch for his performance in this Countryfolk Films / Pignose Productions Release in 2008
Don't miss the details in the DVD movie - Coming Soon
Mr. Byron
With years of acting experience under his belt Henry Hamilton accepted the role of Mr. Byron, owner of the local mineral store in "Barefoot Country Girl"...
In the film he has operated his "Gem Store" for years, and is finally turning operation over to his daughter "Rosey" ( character role performed by Rosey White Susbury - the real life owner of the western Maine store located on the "gold-rich' Swift River near Mooselookmeguntic Lake in the world famous Rangeley Lakes Region of Maine ).
Tho hailing from Maine, Hamilton spent numerous years performing in touring stage productions around the world as well as several years as a stoyteller on Alabama Public Radio.
Henry Hamilton
Mr. Byron, ( actor Henry Hamilton) is seen doing some off-camera panning for gold in the Swift River during filming on location in western Maine 
Matthew (Steve Flynn) riverside with young Ellie (Abbie Goldberg) as they spend the day prospecting for some "yellow'.... and a chance to talk with his daughter, the barefoot girl of the valley.....
Meet
Abbie Goldberg
"Barefoot Country Girl', (the movie) features several youth actors, but this 12 year old actress, Abbie Goldberg, is without a doubt, one of the finest young actors in the State of Maine.
Abbie has performed in "Music Man", been a member of "Reader's Theatre" and was in the feature film "Twelve Dogs of Christmas". She is also a talented musician and vocalist.
In this Countryfolk Films production, Abbie takes on the role of Young Ellie, who with her father Matthew (Steve Flynn from "The Departed" and "Empire Falls") pans for gold each summer near their cabin on the Swift River at Coos Canyon in western Maine. (where gold was found before the gold rush of '49 in California)
Tho prospecting every day, she yearns to be a country music singer like her grandmother Maude ( Ginger Mae Dyer) in the 1950s and 60s.
Young Ellie meets up with some unlikely characters in the movie that offer up some new opportunities for her future.
This DVD film will be offered in summer 2008 to the public and all funds raised will support youth music scholarships at the Maine Countryfolk Music Theatre http://www.countryfolkmusic.com/
in East Dixfield, Maine USA

As The Cast Was
On location in the rugged western mountains of Maine, near the northern end of the Appalachan Trail in the town of Byron, two loathsome crooks are seen here, caught in their long underwear by two hermit prospectors, during filming on the "gold-rich" Swift River, where gold was discovered more than ten years before the California "gold rush" of 1849
More film footage coming soon here and WORLD-WIDE on YouTube
