Starring Jill Scott, Regina Hall and Eve. Also starring in the movie is Deion Saunders, and comedian, Kevin Hart.

Actress "Eve" show up at Georgetown with possible husband...


Being shot from two cameras when all of a sudden...


Crew pops in! Not a shot just a practice.


Mickey Krivosh with one of the actresses for the film, Mercedes.


Ok action...








CUT! Again. Crew of 120, 3 hours set up. 5 takes. 7 seconds of film in the can!

It's a crazy business.


With Detroit Ave. still shut down, we go to "The Best Patio In The Region" to film. Detroit
stays shut down for noise, action, crowds, etc.


Inside at the table two policemen come up to arrest the possible husband, cuff him and off they go.


Director Nzingha Stewart explains how she wants it played.






After a couple run-throughs, she explains it all one more time, and action!

Seriously it was great watching them film, and the cast and crew loved the city and loved
the choices they had for food and kicking back. They are now filming downtown and on the east side of Cleveland.

Good work Lakewood, and good work Georgetown and Mickey Krivosh!

Make Up

That's a rap!


Instantly the entire crew relaxes, cameras come out, photos taken, and off they go.

Cleaning up...

Holy Moly, Mickey lit the sign!


Mickey and crew thanks for the great day. I would also like to thank my good friends at WestEnd
for putting up with me, and it was great seeing John Terry!

History Question:
How many movies have been shot in Lakewood over the years?

The only one I can think of is "Fun Size" a couple years ago.

I just had to get a peek at what was going on.
Should have come back after dark, would have been a good night shoot with all the lighting.
