COLUMBUS, Ohio — For months, 10TV has been following the production of the major independent film "Down to the Felt" in central Ohio.
Featuring local talent both in front of and behind the camera, the movie's filmmakers hope to start a movement of larger-scale indie films in the Columbus area.
During an exclusive set visit in the spring, actor and producer Cullen Douglas announced that the crew behind "Down to the Felt" was immediately honoring their commitment to supporting independent film in central Ohio by bringing the production of a second film to the region this summer.
In another 10TV exclusive, the filmmakers have announced that the title of this second film is "My Mother, The Madam" and production is set to begin in Columbus the second week of August. Written by Douglas and inspired by true events, "My Mother, The Madam" will star Susan Gallagher who is best known for work on shows such as Loki, Cobra Kai and the CBS drama NCIS: New Orleans.
"I'm based in Florida so I absolutely love filming in Florida and supporting my state, but when my writer and co-producer Cullen Douglas told me about his positive experience of filming in Columbus, Ohio, I had to take a closer look at it," said Gallagher, who also serves as an executive producer on the film. "Not only is Columbus a lovely area, but it's just offering so many benefits for me as a filmmaker."
