The Show Must Get Started

We began principal photography this weekend on this year’s community film for the Oxford Film Festival. Or rather, I suppose we started second unit shooting…or maybe we’ll call it pre-shoot pickups. Either way, actors were acting and cameras were rolling. The main shooting will be done the first week in January but this got us off to a great start. The story revolves around a community theatre’s production of a murder mystery. During the performance, an actor is actually killed on stage. Due to a visiting State Arts Commissioner in attendance, the cast and crew have no choice but to continue with the play. The film is called “The Show Must Go On” and will be the opening night film for the Oxford Film Festival in February. For more info on the film and festival click here. Special thanks to everyone who worked so long and hard on Saturday including our very own student worker, Matt Minshew who’s serving as Assistant Director on the shoot. More soon.
