Charles Dutton, Jamie Hector, Michael Wright on set of "The Gift"

Actor Charles Dutton ("Roc," "Get On the Bus") was in town over the weekend shooting an intense scene for "The Gift" at TJS Auto Imports (2149 Penrose). In the scene, Dutton faces off with Michael Wright ("Oz," "Five Heartbeats"), who plays a crooked cop. Dutton plays the father of an aspiring rapper, played by Jamie Hector, of "The Wire," who is running a credit-card scam to get money he needs for his son's surgery. Pictured here on the set are screenwriter Ken Kushner, executive producer Steve Gordon, Hector, child actor Tyire Johnson, Dutton, Wright, executive producer Terrance Glasgow and director J. Jesses Smith. The producers are hoping for festivals and a theatrical release.
