Downtown filming brings revenue

On LATE Friday night & Saturday night, "@radical.media" was shooting a Dodge Super bowl commercial. The shoot featured numerous background actors scurrying around town during a blizzard. Meanwhile, the all wheel drive Dodge vehicles are shown driving effortlessly through the snow...

The second show that is shooting today (1/10/2011) is the TV show "Justified" that airs on the FX network. The prep work for this show included rebuilding the interior of the vacant bank building on the corner of Main Street and Central Avenue into a beautiful bank. Additionally, a bomb threat and coal miners strike was depicted at the steps of City Hall.

In case you haven't noticed, filming has been relatively active lately in Fillmore. It would be awesome if you could put a few lines within your story/cut lines reminding residents to please be patient during these activities. Filming not only provides Fillmore great exposure to the outside world... It also provides local property owners and businesses to benefit from the extra revenue generated by the activity.
