FORGED CONTINUES TO GROW
Momentum builds in NEPA
When we began shooting Forged on February 6 the word was out that an independent film was shooting in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but now as we’re just a week away from wrapping pretty much everybody knows.
Forged has taken Scranton by storm.
Forty plus setups a day and we’re still wrapping early most days, scenes are looking sick and we’ve been doing an insane amount of press in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.
Earlier this week stars Manny Perez and David Castro, director William Wedig, and executive producer Joe Van Wie did a the Pennsylvania Independent Film show on WVIA, to talk about the film with sexy host Wendy Wilson.
It was an adventure. Wendy managed to charm the cast and filmmakers into divulging all the dirt on Forged, while busting on Joe Van Wie, who she knew since he was a little boy growing up in Scranton.
Off stage Wendy reconnected with Joe's older sister Gina, who she went to school with, as well as Joe's mother.
Also lately we’ve been featured on 97 BHT on the Ralphie Radio Show with Ralphie Aversa, Daniels and Webster on Rock 107, WBRE, WYOU, and WNEP news, as well as write ups in Electric City/Diamond City and the Scranton Times-Tribune.
Local sponsors have been great and we’ve been bringing more on just about every day.
Locations we’ve shot at include the legendary Scranton Lace Mill, Dunmore’s Bucktown Diner, The Bog and the AV Restaurant.
Things have been outstanding. The camaraderie between the cast and crew has also been amazing. While off the clock people are either hanging out together at establishments around the area including The Woodland’s, Mohegan Sun, Molly Brannigan’s, Brix and The Colosseum, chilling in the hotel enjoying dailes, or playing poker games.
Plus remember this is a road movie so we’ve been filming a wealth of driving scenes.

ONE LOCATION DOWN
Day 3-4 Scoop
Four days of "Forged" in the can.
One location wrapped.
And the train is still rolling ahead at full steam.
After our first day off Monday, it’s Tuesday morning and the cast and crew of "Forged" are putting all hands on deck and heading back to work this morning.
Today we’re shooting on Richmont Avenue, in the Green Ridge section of Scranton at a location that is considered to be the home of one of the film’s key bad guys, Moose, who is played by Kevin Breznahan.
Scenes today will be between Kevin and Manny Perez.
Dailies are looking absolutely sick. The red cameras are living up to their hype, and cinematographer Zeus Morand is living up to his.
Takes have been going smoothly with young director William Wedig going to work everyday well-prepared, knowing exactly what he wants.
And the stellar cast has been doing its part. Despite the intense shooting schedule (e.g. we shot 50 setups Saturday, 30 of them first team) actors have continued to nail their scenes all day long.
Unfortunately we’ve said goodbye to Margo Martindale, who wrapped Sunday. In addition to being a very disciplined actress, she’s always a warm, friendly presence on set.
She’s one of those people who is always entertaining, and just seems like a genuine person you’ve known your entire life.
During takes, though, she’s not joking around. Nobody is.
One of Margo’s scenes Saturday was between her and Kevin.
It was Kevin’s first scene and it involved him arriving at Dianne’s house to look for Chuco.
The scene involves a little interrogation, and ultimately Moose becoming violent with Dianne.
It was gripping.
Every take seemed so real that it played out rather disturbing. However Kevin would transition back into his fun-loving entertaining self between takes, even apologizing to the house’s dog Tar for yelling so loud, and being mean.
Then Margo’s daughter stopped by the set with a friend, showing up just in time for a front row seat to her mother’s intense scene. Liz, who is a junior at Binghampton University, drove down to hang for a little.
Also Happy Birthday to David Castro. The young star had the day off Saturday to celebrate his 13th birthday, and when he returned he was quick to tell us how things are different now that he’s a man.
“The girls look at me different now that I’m 13,” he said.
Jaime Tirelli, who plays bad guy Caesar, got his first reps in Sunday.
Like the rest of the cast he mixed his professionalism, with an innate ability to keep things light between takes.
Thanks to the Whistle Pig Far and Pumpkin Patch in Noxen. Homeowners Joel and Stacy were more engaging and accommodating than should ever be expected.
They had to be sick of us by the end, but never showed it. We’re all going to miss them!

FORGED GOES PUBLIC
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.
