Thank goodness my cub photographer was on site to take these photos of the filming that happened in the Red Shed, known in the film as just "the boat house" I suppose. I asked Paul what the scene was about. He said that the character (I don't know if he's the main character/star, but he could be) is getting Jeff Brown ready to launch.
Ahahahahahaahahahahahaha!
Wouldn't that be nice?
And for those of you who are now captivated by this tale, please make checks payable to the Noank Historical Society (www.noankhistoricalsociety.org) so we can raise the 5 billion dollars necessary to make the old geezer pass his insurance survey.
Here's the crew getting ready to shoot a "boathouse scene." The star is at left; note the bespoke opened toolbox at the bottom of the photo. Donated by Paul I suspect.
Looks like a kinda crappy day to film a Jamboree, but there will possibly bee more shooting tomorrow, which is supposed to be nice.
Did I mention I filled out a form to be an extra? Sadly I did so too late, or I would probably have been cast, as "Waterfront Hag." Every movie needs one.
Hopefully more photos will follow. The producers said they'd give some to the historical society, and I'll post em here.
Interestingly, some scenes from "Mystic Pizza" were filmed about 200 yards away at what used to be Ford's Lobsters, where--yes, you guessed it, Uncle Jack kept his dragger Star at the dock, and Sea Mew out on the mooring. I will have to find a photo of them.
Hey, here's Star, in oh I don't know . . . 1985? At the Seaport. All Jack's boats are destined to be movie stars!
