Academy-winning Deaf actress Marlee Matlin is currently in production of her first movie, a courtroom thriller titled “Where the Truth Lies” which airs as the movie of the month on Lifetime cable on September 14th. It is being produced through Hearst Entertainment in association with Greentree Films and Solo One Productions, the latter being Marlee Matlin and Jack Jason’s company. Marlee Matlin and Jack Jason are one of the four executive producers. Matlin, herself, also appears in the film as a woman accused of murdering a senatorial candidate. Shooting is taking place in the Portland, OR area. “It’s not a deaf story per se, meaning it doesn’t have a deaf story line”, Jason explains, “it just happens to feature a deaf character”.
