SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY

An independent film crew set up shop in the former Scranton Lace Factory on Thursday to shoot scenes for a new movie entitles 'Forged." Producers say the huge empty building
was a perfect site for some of the movie's action scenes.

In fact all of the scenes in the movie are being shot in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Executive Producer Joe Van Wie said the crew has had tremendous support from Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty and the Lackawanna County Board of Commissioners as well as local vendors who are helping with the production.

Actor Manny Perez plays one of the lead rolls. He said he believes the area has a lot to offer to prospective film makers.
