Virginia Madsen Talks About Why Her New Movie, Sheepdog, Was Filmed In Western Massachusetts

Virginia Madsen has played many roles in many movies in the last 4 decades. But her new movie, Sheepdog, is a very personal mission for her. Sheepdog is the story of Veterans and those closest to them dealing with PTSD. Madsen’s nephew was a Veteran that took his own life so she was able to use her personal experience in her role. Sheepdog was also filmed entirely in Franklin County, Massachusetts. Specifically Turner’s Falls, Montague and Erving.
