Movie Making in Gold Hill

Movie shooting in Gold Hill

Just spoke with the director/writer. They will be shooting on Main Street on May 19-24. Periodically they’d like to have Main clear of cars for a few hours now and then. Really nice guys and don’t want to hassle anybody. This is gonna be pretty cool. A SciFy comedy if you can wrap your head around that 🙂 Peter

Letter received from the movie makers with more details, except that the time frame, according to Peter is now May 19-24 

My name is Maya Ferrario, and I am a local, Denver-based film producer.  Gabriel Dohrn (CC’d) and I are preparing for an upcoming short film production in May 2019, called “Offline”. 

We would love to come up and film in Gold Hill from May 19 – 22nd.  We would be filming on Main street, and inside of Gold Hill Store & Pub.  We have been in contact with Hugh, the owner of Good Hill Store & Pub, and we have also been talking with the Boulder County permitting office about closing down Main street from Hill St. to Prospect St.  We would intermittently close the roads during all daylight hours from May 19 – 22nd.  
 
In order to close the road, we will get the proper permitting through Boulder County, and have two of our own crew members, plus an off-duty police officer there to direct traffic control. 
 
Our crew includes 35 members, 5 actors, and 3 horses.  We will, of course, have one person to take care of the horses for the entire time.  Provided we receive the filming permit, we will close down that section of the road during takes, and open them up in-between takes, while we are resetting.  The take should last about 3 minutes, and then we would re-open the main road between takes for about 5-10 minutes to let any cars through.  However, we did create a detour map that cars could take, if they did not want to wait at the lockups (attached).
 
Please let us know if you can think of any immediate concerns, or if you need any more information from us.  Thank you for your time!  Talk soon.
All my best,
