Some scenes will be shot in Columbus, as well. The film tells the story of a 30-year-old man and a co-ed, who meet cute over their love of books and music, but have trouble dealing with the age difference.
Old Fashioned plans to film in Tuscarawas County and features “a charming but lonely, idealistic antique shop owner who meets a free-spirited young woman running from an abusive relationship. Together they attempt an old fashion courtship in contemporary America.”
Over the Wall will shoot in Darke, Mercer, and Stark counties in late summer and early fall. The film centers on the world of professional stock-car racing, and a violent tragedy that tears at the hearts and souls of each character.
