Who Knows What’s up on Southwestern?

A couple of readers e-mailed me to say that a film crew was working near the corner of Southwestern and Baltimore today. I sent photographer Christina Barany there to investigate. She asked a couple of crew members what they were doing, but they refused to tell her. How rude.

    Was it a 20th Century Fox crew? Could be the new Bradley Cooper cop show, they were filming on Forest a few weeks back.

    Dallas Divas and Daughters, season 2? No, that’s probably being filmed in Forney or something.

    I asked a (different??) crew member and he said they were filming “Language of a Broken Heart.” I can only find casting calls for extras and nothing about plot, stars, etc.

    There was an RV, a sign that said Production Crew and an arrow and an outside canopy/tent with drinks and food over at UP city hall on tuesday. Related?

    There was a crew filming in Goar Park yesterday afternoon.

    Lots of “Crew” signs along Hillcrest pointing toward UP city hall/Goar Park area yesterday. I thought they were filming some sort of city-sponsored PSA about how to properly write alarming emails.

    I spoke to a very nice crew member. He told me they are filming a movie “Language of a Broken Heart” produced by our own neighbor, Rocky Powell.

    It’s not rude! crew members can be fired for telling “tourists” what they are filming.

    Leisl is right; crew members are not really supposed to talk to the public while out on a film job.

    And besides, do you know how hard it is to get a filming permit in the Park Cities? Next to impossible, partly because of the traffic and looky-loos film jobs tend to attract. The town councils don’t want it.

    Cool! I grew up at the corner of Southwestern and Baltimore. We used to play hide and seek in the front yards there during the late after summer afternoons. The front porch of that house was often ‘Base’. And Ms Demcko(who used to teach 3rd grade at U.P., now she’s at McCulloch, I believe) grew up next door(to the right). Her parents old house was torn down back in the late 80′s, though. Thanks for the trip down memory lane with that picture!

    We may as well stick with Patterson. As Mel Brooks said in “Blazing Saddles”; “Gentlemen, we gotta protect our phoney-baloney jobs”. It’s the devil I know over the devil I don’t know every time.
