New film production comes to St. Joseph
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- St. Joseph will be in the backgrounds of a new independent film this week.
The Neighborhood Tavern, located at 2112 S. 10th St., served as a filming site this past Thursday, and The Missouri Theater and The Frederick Inn will also serve as other filming locations.
Producer and Assitant Director Thomas Cross, and Writer and Director Alec Huggins are filming, while actors Chloé Groussard and Micahel Abbott Jr. play the two main leads- Charlie and James.
The story is about a poor French vagabond, Charlie, who ends up stuck in small town America after missing her train trying to buy cigarettes. Charlie eventually finds her way onto a theater stage after being discovered by James, a former stage director from New York.
The film will showcase the dynamics between the two main leads, and explores both their pasts and journeys in the play.
St. Joseph residents are invited to take part in the show, as the crew is looking for people to play audience members while the film is being shot at the Missouri Theater.
Participants are encouraged to dress their best and come for the experience at 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24.
