Damaged Car needed!

Dear FilmAcres Family,

We’re looking for a vehicle to be used all day July 19 for a scene involving a car accident. The damage, as seen in the film, will be visible from the driver’s side, so the more banged up the vehicle, the better (damaged driver-side fender, door, rear door, etc.). We are not concerned about the vehicle’s make, model or color, nor will it sustain any additional damage during filming. The vehicle’s owner is invited to hang out on the set during filming.

Got a car that fits the bill? Call Production Manager Kevin McGrail at FilmAcres at (219) 778-2511 or email mcgrailk@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
John Hancock

Housing Needed

Help us get the word out!

Over the past several months, we’ve been vigorously pursuing housing options for our film’s crew. We’ve spoken with representatives from local hotels, bed and breakfasts and people we know with properties in the area. We have met with some success, but our crew, it turns out, is bigger than anticipated. Some will arrive in just 10 days.

That’s why we are turning to you, “The Town That Made a Movie,” for help. Anyone who knows of, or has, available property, or even just a few extra bedrooms, can contact Production Manager Kevin McGrail at FilmAcres at (219) 778-2511 or email mcgrailk@gmail.com.

We greatly appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Production Manager
Kevin McGrail
