The DC-based production Below the Beltway is scheduled to air on The Movie Channel and Showtime early in December 2010. Independently financed and produced locally in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, the film has managed to garner attention through audience awards and a recent trailer release.

…more than proud to announce that Below the Beltway will be airing on Showtime and TMC in December. First airing is December 4th. A sincere thanks to Cast, Crew and friends for making this possible.

Director Dave Fraunces posted a similar announcement with the understated response of “… So … That happened….”
