The cast and crew had been filming in and around City Island for the past several days. Before wrapping up their days of labor, crew members Brian Allen, who works in production and Nick Pettitta, who handles props took time to speak with City Island Images. They told us they worked hard for a few days and enjoyed City Island. They both hope to return again soon.
