The rain and overcast skies did not stop an independent film crew from taking over a section of the Boulevard in the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson on Saturday, where they re-created a scene of a traffic jam on the country road.
The movie, called Potter’s Field, is about a man who has recently died and is struggling to give up his memories of life and move on to the afterlife. It features actor Jason Abrams and Oscar-nominated actor Eric Roberts.
The production is being shot in various locations throughout the Hudson Valley and focuses on Bannerman's Island, which plays a strategic role in the film's theme. The film’s director, Ted Schaefer, said that he chose to shoot in the village because of the area’s natural beauty.
Director Ted Schaefer and his crew spent their first hours in Conrwall-on-Hudson Saturday setting up, then worked though the afternoon shooting scenes from the film.
