Amos Posner’s AFTER PARTY, which was filmed entirely in Saugerties, NY (not NYC) is now available on iTunes.
The film stars Rachel Nichols, Laura Dreyfuss, Sean Kleier and Steve Guttenberg. The production marked a return to the Hudson Valley region by Canadian based producer Michael Goodin (Monolith Pictures).
“This was the fifth film that I've produced in the Hudson Valley,” wrote Michael Goodin. “My company has been incredibly grateful for the support of the Hudson Valley Film Commission and they have been a big part of the reason we continue to produce films in the area. The local community support we have received has been exceptional. Without this tremendous amount of cooperation and collaboration, producing independent features of this high quality caliber would be nearly impossible.”
Other films from Goodin include MESKADA (with Rachel Nichols and Norman Reedus), A DIFFERENT SUN, AMY MAKES THREE, and BEYOND THE NIGHT.
AFTER PARTY was filmed primarily at the former Odd Fellows Temple on Main Street. The Saugerties Performing Arts Factory was used as the certified soundstage. Over 50 local actors appeared as dayplayers and background. Local crew members and vendors, including Hudson Valley Casting, supported the production.
