Adventures in Casting: ‘Roadhouse
Coup’ an Otsego County Who’s Who

Folks throughout the area have asked me at least a thousand times, “How did you get all those leaders of Otsego County to be in your film?”

Here’s the “Reader’s Digest” version.

I first met former Oneonta Police Chief Douglas Brenner while working on another project. The introduction went something like this: “Hi! My name is Lori. You don’t know me, but I’m going to make a movie here, and I may need your help. By the way, here’s a cake I bought for you, and my contact information.”

Why he didn’t pull a weapon and chase me away, I’ll never know.
