The shooting of a small-budget, independent film in Amsterdam is
exoected to generate about $300,000 in economic activity, according to
the film's producer.
The movie is called Kill For Me, and stars Bailey Chase in the lead role
of a man who spends twenty years in prison then gets out to try to save
his son, who had been threatened while his father was locked up.
Written by Raymond Kwok, the filming takes advantage of some of
Amsterdam's old factories and less-than-beautiful parts of the city.
Kwok is also a producer on the project and said he wanted to make the
film in New York, partly to take advantage of the state's tax credits
offered to filmmakers.
The filming is about half finished. Producer Benjamin Brant Bickham,
whose brother lives in Niskayuna, said it's not clear yet how nor when
the movie might open, suggesting it might first be seen on the festival
circuit. He said it's being made with a budget of about $500,000 and a
crew of around forty.
