We gratefully acknowledge the people and businesses who have so generously contributed props or the use of their space as locations where we've shot some scenes for the film. SITE VOLUNTEERS Prince of Piedmont Club #475 Wilmington, DE Special thanks to the Piedmont, where The Film Brothers are proud members. Thanks to Jim Lemon and all of the members of the club for their hospitality. And cinematographer Mike Kushner says hello to Joe Red, who had a hard time staying quiet when we said "Action"! But we all couldn't stop laughing the whole time we were there! One of the most memorable times during the filming of franks & wieners. Joan Bernard Barbizon School and Modeling Agency Thanks to Joan and her crew for helping to cast some quality actors, promote the movie, and do make-up and hair on several shoots. Kristin Field and Rachel Scofield have been great, always on the set when we needed them. Mary Ellen (Mimi) Cummings Mimi kindly allowed us to shoot scenes in her home. We even had to come back to reshoot and it was never a problem. Thanks Mimi! Deerhead Hot Dogs 620 South Maryland Avenue Wilmington, DE Rusty Applegate simply has THE best hot dogs. Their motto? "It's the sauce!!!" Larry Denney Thanks to Uncle Larry for pulling out some of his police equipment for us. Now that's a swell uncle! Fat Rick's Cajun Grill & BBQ 110 Astro Shopping Center Newark, DE Rick, Tina, and Damon Betz. Home of the 9-inch Burger - the best 9 inches you'll ever have! We had jambalaya and cornbread, and we couldn't stop eating it. They always have great music playing there, and a cool atmosphere. John Jenkins Image Source Photography Studio 1900 N Tatnall Street Wilmington, DE John kindly provided the use of his photography studio for the car scenes. Thanks so much, John! Lovering Avenue Getty 1716 Lovering Avenue Wilmington, DE (302) 658-2246 What more can we say? The Hines family are just the coolest. Old gas pumps where they still use the honor system! Bob Martin Bob was nice enough to let us use some space for a scene. He was actually laughing at some of the material. Now that's a good sign for us! New Castle Deli 716 Ferry Cut Off New Castle, DE 19720 South River Shopping Center, Routes 273 and 9, near Old New Castle (302) 322-6006 Marlene has whipped up some prices that can't be beat. Unless you go back to 1983. Check for daily lunch specials. Tait Norden Tait is a neighbor who was kind enough to leave the keys while he went on vacation and gave us full access to his apartment for some filming. He could have left some food, though... Those damn cupboards were bare! Jerry O'Rourke Jerry is a Wilmington attorney who owns the property where Gordon lives. We shot some scenes there. Wow! A lawyer and a landlord! Now who said they were all jerks... The Page Family Bill Page plays one of the lead roles (Ted). His real-life wife Lee was more than tolerant as we converted her home into an on-location mess for the film. She and her family endured late nights, as she prepared for holidays and graduation parties, while we were doing the actual filming. Thanks to their son Mike, who allowed us to use his car as the star in our film. His band PTP rules!!! Park Deli 259 Elkton Road Newark, DE Thanks to the Scheib family for hanging with us for our biggest shoot of the movie! Late hours, lots of coffee and sugar highs from all the goodies on their shelves! Douglas Parlour Days' Inn Concord Pike Wilmington, DE Douglas generously provided two rooms for us to film a scene. Conveniently located near Wilmington and next to all that tax-free shopping! Joanne and Richard Robinson Thanks to the Robinsons for allowing us to use their home. Wait until they see their son Matt's scene! Pack your bags, brother, you're moving out! Barry Schlecker Network Group 1700 Shallcross Avenue, Suite 3 Wilmington, DE A very special thanks to Barry, Gordon's former boss at this recruiting firm, who has been so much more than generous. Barry provided free office space so that we could conduct our movie business and be taken seriously. Barry also allowed us to shoot several scenes in his home and have actors sleep in his spare bedrooms. He also helped by being on the selection panel for the casting calls. Thanks for everything, Barry! Gagan Seth Thanks to Gagan for allowing us to use his gas station at 4015 Governor Printz Blvd. Located next to I-495. Open 7 days 6am to 10pm. Gagan also offered his other properties. We hope to take him up on those in the future. Thanks Gagan! Penn Mart Thriftway Supermarket Penn Mart Shopping Center New Castle, DE Thanks to Tony and Regina Grisillo, their night manager Fred Scholl, and the rest of the night crew for putting up with us for the time we were there. They went beyond the norm to accomodate us. How we worked in a supermarket for two nights and didn't eat ourselves sick will remain a mystery forever! PROPS Law and Order Police Supplies 508 Philadelphia Pike Wilmington, DE Peggy of Law & Order was so very kind to lend us the police equipment we needed, for minimal cost, when all the other places would only sell it to us for a grand... Thanks, Peggy! |
