On the Set with Woody Allen in Newport RI!

Woody Allen and US in Newport! – Quiet On The Set!

The latest Woody Allen film is being shot in Newport with Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix and Parker Posey. Not only was one of our stunning listings at 6 Greenough Placeused in the filming, but Cathy & I are on set!! Don’t look for us in the credits (not yet anyway) but we are lucky enough to know the head of lighting Frans Weterrings (Red Sky Studios) and he is kind enough to invite us up close for a VIP tour of the set in front of the Franklin Spa (a local, beloved diner) on Spring Street.

Anyone that really knows me knows that I love this kind of thing! and WOW! it was just so fun. My early days in College studying Theatre and Cathy’s volunteer experience with Newport International Film Festival (NIFF) added to our excitement and interest in the project. Everyone we met was so cheerful and nice from Props to Wardrobe, Lighting and Electrical.

Lots of arrangements were made, for shoot locations and cast and crew accommodations and it was wonderful for Hogan Associates to have a connection last week as Joaquin Phoenix and Parker Posey filmed at 6 Greenough Place shown below! I also had the pleasure of watching that shoot as well.

Cathy & I are going to be first in line at the premiere! See you there.
