Last summer, the cast and crew of the Hulu original movie Merry Kiss Cam spent a lot of time filming in various locations throughout the Twin Ports. They also involved a lot of local businesses and a lot of us spent time working as extras in the movie. I signed up to be an extra and then waited to see if I would get the call to join them for a day.
I did ultimately get the call to be an extra and I was told to check-in near Fitger's Brewery Complex early one morning, and to bring several winter clothing options. Even though the temperature in Duluth that day was expected to be near 80 degrees, Merry Kiss Cam takes place in the winter and if they were going to have fake snow, we had to look the part. I was told to bring outdoor winter clothes like a warm jacket, hat, etc. I was also told that if I was a runner that I should bring gear that I'd wear to run in the cold.
There were four specific filming locations I was a part of and each required a change of wardrobe:. My one day of shooting ended up taking about 13 hours. That's show business! That being said, I'd do it again in a heartbeat and I look forward to seeing the finished product. I don't care if I can spot myself anywhere or not, it'll be fun just to see our local businesses and our community involved in a movie. Take a look! The movie will begin streaming on Hulu on November 24, and here's their description of the the romantic comedy:.
Now, Jess and Danny must continue attending the games or risk the wrath of fans who believe their kisses are a good luck charm. Hopefully, this is just the start of what will be many movies and productions filmed in the Twin Ports area! David Drew Published: November 23, Share on Facebook Share on Twitter.
