Filming will begin at the Pittsburgh Inn on Sunday, featuring a cast and crew from CAM Erie and PACA. Stephen King is requesting the film be completed by March 3 so editing will also take place this month at CAM Erie.
“We have a phenomenal group of people working together. That’s why I love the Erie area in terms of arts because everyone’s really resourceful. No one’s really making money off this, it was just the love of the labor. That’s why it’s honestly incredible being in Erie,” said Milano.
The film will be viewed at both the Bangor Film Festival and Erie Horror Fest in the fall.
