film a movie she is shooting in
and around town later this spring
and into the early summer. She
was granted permission during the
April 22 Hammonton Town
Council meeting.
Petrongolo is a former member
of town council.
In a recent phone interview with
The Gazette, Petrongolo said this
is her second film project and first
of the feature-length variety. She
is working with a local crew and
the actors are from SAG-AFTRA
(Screen Actors Guild-American
Federation of Television and
Radio Artists) and the Actors’ Equity Association, while 90 percent
of the crew are union actors from
Philadelphia.
“These are professional actors.
I chose to film in Hammonton because I felt that I wanted to give
these actors an opportunity to
work in town, but I also feel that
it is good for the local economy
for filmmakers to work
