Movie stars entertaining at press conference/cocktail party
Hollywood and Northeastern Pennsylvania in the same breath?
You might say that.
Media and local patrons came out to party with the cast and crew of Forged Saturday.
A press conference, and cocktail party took place in the hotspot Breakers, at the Mohegan Sun Casino welcoming the stars, director and producers of the independent film to NEPA.
Film stars Manny Perez, Kevin Breznahan, Jaime Tirelli, director William Wedig and producers Joe Van Wie and Josh Crook answered questions for the press and public.
Even though this film is an intense gritty drama, the boys are always funny --- whether they’re being interviewed, mingling with fans, or just chilling out.
Still, it’s not all punch and cookies for this talented ensemble. The actors spoke passionately about their characters. All seemed well-prepared and excited to delve right into their work.
They’ll get the chance Thursday, when the cameras roll in Scranton. Shooting will run through March 6.
Expectations are high as the cast already seem to have instantly formed a bond. The heavyweights seems to have an instant rapport, chemistry and high-level of mutual admiration each other.
After interviews with local press, Manny, Kevin, Jaime, Will and Joe appeared on the Ralphie Radio Show on top-forty station 97 BHT.
Popular young on-air personality Ralphie Aversa got all the inside dirt on the film, while laughing it up with the cast on the air.
One of the highlights of the day had to be the always amusing Kevin asking for girls to come to the set to work as extras, or just hang out.
He’s looking to enjoy the women of Northeastern PA, so if any ladies are interested in being an extra hit up FORGEDCASTING@GMAIL.COM.

IT'S CRUNCH TIME...
Making a movie is like going to war, and nobody wants to go into battle unprepared.
With just one week till "FORGED" begins shooting, producers are working hard to make sure everything's in place before the weapons are drawn and the battle begins.
Shooting is slated to being Monday, February 2, and then there's no time to make mistakes. It's going to be a hectic month-long schedule full of 12 hour days.
Throw in the arctic Northeastern Pa. winters, and high amount of outdoor locations, and there's no time to be wasted. Everything must be locked down and ready to roll, before the cameras roll.
Looks like the intensity, energy and enthusiasm is high. The stars of the film will arrive in Scranton later this week.
Over the weekend "FORGED" conducted an open casting call at the Holiday Inn in Dunmore. Over 200 people showed up to audition for roles.... primary background spots.
Megan Reiter of the Scranton Times-Tribune was on hand to keep the public informed.
