In Brief
Film scene brings real police
Usually when a producer , director and actor get together to re-shoot a scene , the mood is pretty lowkey .
But Monday at an office on Robinson Ave . near the city line , the trio was greeted by a City of Newburgh S . W . A . T . team and Town of Newburgh police who had surrounding the building by the time the group had finished recording .
In an office building at 436 Robinson Ave ., filmmaker Courtney Allen was working with director Shawn Strong and actor Gary Sauer on a voiceover of a scene that involved talk of a gunman for her soon-to-be released dramatic web series “ At Risk .” Strong ’ s digital production company , Phanatics Entertainment , has an office in the building . Although the scene was shot no less than 15 times with the exact same wording and no other actors speaking , someone in a nearby office mistakenly thought there was a real hostage situation and called 911 .
“ We didn ’ t hear any police activity at all ,” Allen , a Newburgh native , said . “ It didn ’ t even dawn on me that it would have been the voiceover that caused the commotion because I actually thought there really was a gunman in the building .”
Allen said that when they left the office , they were ordered to put their hands up by a City of Newburgh officer , who said that they ’ d received a call about a gunman in the building . She soon put the pieces together and explained the situation the officer before showing him the script from the voiceover scene .
The office is also home to a music studio and Phanatics Entertainment has a green room they use for recording promos for Phan Media , an artistic variety show that airs every other week .
“ We ’ re glad the police response was so immediate ,” Allen said , who apologized to the drivers who got caught in the traffic snares that resulted when streets adjacent to the building were closed . “ I hope we get a bit more positive attention when the series actually airs .”
Filmed entirely in the Hudson Valley , “ At Risk ” will begin broadcasting later this year , once potproduction is complete .
