“This could be really, really big for Landrum,” Jennings said. “If it does get picked up by a network that could mean paying jobs for people in our area. It could also mean cast and crew lunches being purchased from local restaurants and locations being rented out for weeks at a time.”
For now, Stevenson said staff members are doing their best to give back in any way they can to businesses that have helped out.
“People take care of us, we take care of them,” Stevenson said.
In some cases this means letting someone in an office come on as an extra. But extras have not been in short supply either, he said. When the crew recently held a casting call, Stevenson said they ended up with about 80 extras.
“We had a really good turnout – we didn’t do anything as far as media announcements but from word of mouth I think we had an excellent group of people coming out,” Stevenson said.
