November Wine

If you were bumming around Old Town the last couple of days, hopefully you were quiet on the set. ‘Cuz we’s makin’ moovees.

Local filmmaker Maria Matteoli (seen above with cinematographer Andy Rydzewski) and a team of 30-odd cast and crew were occupying various E-town locations shooting scenes for The Wine of Summer.

The film is scheduled to wrap up principal photography today and Maria hopes to hit the festival circuit — as well as stage a Humboldt premiere — spring of next year.

HumCo film buffs!: Check out the film’s IMDB page and play “Spot the Academy Award-winner.”

Cast members Ethan Peck (yes, grandson) and Kelsey Chow.

Boom!

Congratulations Maria on bringing this filming to Humboldt county and using so many locals. The locals will remember this for years to come. You are such a talented individual. Can’t wait for the premiere.

Joel, was that your guess for “Spot the Academy Award winner?” If so, keep guessing!
