New Family Short Film Showcases Local Talent
Tom Davis
Local filmmaker John-Clay Burnett has released a heartwarming new short film, The Case of the Missing Boot, created entirely with his family. The 20-minute adventure is available on YouTube and it follows four young brothers who form a detective squad to solve the mystery of a missing boot—one that’s keeping a sibling from jumping in puddles.
Despite being geared toward children, Burnett says the film has been a hit with audiences of all ages. “It’s a fun, family-made movie with lots of different scenes and a bit of adventure,” he shared during his appearance on Community Connection alongside local actor Dr. Michael Bush.
Bush, who plays a sheriff in the film, met Burnett in an unexpected way—through a chiropractic visit that led to a shared connection in faith-based filmmaking. Burnett, known for his work with ministries and nonprofits, has earned multiple awards for promotional videos and has also contributed to the historical Christian film Washington’s Armor, now streaming on Amazon Prime.
Burnett's work, including The Case of the Missing Boot, can be found at RealCastProductions.com and on YouTube by searching "Burnett Detectives."
“The message matters,” Burnett said. “We aim to share truth with excellence.”
