Action! Movie films on Perkins Avenue

SANDUSKY — Part of West Perkins Avenue was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday for the filming of a movie. A closure will occur again along West Perkins Avenue between Camp Street and Old Railroad Road between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on June 10-11. In addition to the road closures, officials ask pedestrians to steer clear of Perkins Avenue during these times for everyone's safety. TCS US Productions 29 gave some insight into the movie, "Stickshift," being filmed in this area through a letter mailed out to area residents who could be affected by this road closure. "The scene will involve cars traveling at high speeds and stunts in which the vehicles will spin out into an adjacent property," according to the letter, which didn't identify any more details about this movie. "We will be using squibs — small controlled special effects sounds, the equivalent to about a quarter of a firecracker — and airsoft, not actual functional, prop guns," the letter read. "Our production understands we are guests in your neighborhood and will conduct ourselves accordingly." A casting call put out by the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, however, provided some additional details about "Stickshift." "A reformed getaway driver gets pulled back in for one last job in order to save the life of her always-in-trouble ex who is indebted to their former boss," the script read.
