Lea Hutton Beasmore is an actress, production manager, and location manager, living in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. She is a graduate of Anderson County High School and Lexington Technical Institute (University of Kentucky). She worked for the Valvoline, Inc. headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky for eight years. After making a move to Maysville, Kentucky with her family, she began working at Straub Elementary school. She returned home to Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, where she lived most of her life, for her husband's career. She was happy to return home for her mother and father's sake but she noticed a change in the town after returning; the mom and pop shops she dearly loved were closed. Lea wanted to make a difference and she started a network through Facebook to help her town. The network caught on fast in 2010 and grew. She also wanted to raise her two boys in a small town environment. Lea worked as a substitute teacher/assistant for 13 years in Lawrenceburg area and still substitutes when needed. Now that her youngest is attending Anderson County High School and the oldest son has graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Civil Engineering Degree, she decided to work in the film industry. While studying acting through VSM Entertainment, she appeared on camera in her first movie, "Hope Bridge." Soon after she began her work in production and acting through the films, "Faces," "Bitter Sweet," "In The Radiant City," and the Hallmark Channel movie, "Ultimate Legacy." As a crew member, she worked on independent productions, including "Faces," and "Retribution." She served as Production Manager for Edgewater Productions and Casting Assistant for TPTFilms Entertainment for the film, "Messenger of Light." In addition to acting classes, she continues to work with VSM Entertainment, on a variety of productions, including Vin Morreale's upcoming short film, "Victim." She also hosts Vin Morreales' acting classes for VSM Entertainment in the central Kentucky location. She is listed with the Kentucky Film Commission under Production Resources through the "Search Directory," as a Production Assistant, Production Coordinator, and Production Secretary. Lea's goals are to become more involved in acting and production work in film hoping she can bring film to the central Kentucky area; especially her hometown of Lawrenceburg. If so, this will help maintain the mom and pop shops through tourism and keep the town alive as it was in the days when The Flim Flam Man movie starring George C. Scott and Michael Sarrazin gave life to the town. Her motto in life, comes from Winston Churchill, - Never, ever ever ever ever give up.
