Movie will be shot in Eastern Iowa this summer

May 30, 2005 By admin

Is this Hollywood? No, it’s Iowa — and Jet Stream Pictures will be shooting a motion picture in eastern Iowa this summer. Todd McGreevy, of Davenport, is one of the producers and says the comedy, called “Traveling Salesmen,” was written by director Rod McCall, who is…from Hollywood/New York and New Mexico. McGreevy says McCall was “taken” by the Quad Cities and by the approach of using Iowans in this film. McGreevy says McCall was impressed by the matter-of-fact approach Iowans take to life. The movie will be set in an as-yet-unnamed small Mississippi River town on the Iowa side. McGreevy explains more about the film’s title and plot line. He says “Traveling Salesmen” is a buddy film about two guys living in a small town that’s on the verge of bankruptcy and they want to save it with a “wild hair-brain idea” to raise money via a road trip. McGreevy is co-producing the film with another Davenport man, Chris Barnard. McGreevy says he’s taking part in the project because of his friendship with writer-director Rod McCall and he’s been involved in several film festivals in recent years to get a taste of the industry. He also made a documentary after he bought a digital video camera.” Shooting on the new independent comedy starts in July. McGreevy says anyone interested in being in the film should click on the “forum” link at “travelingsalesmenmovie.com.”
