Duchovny movie films in New Canaan

 

Part of Main Street was transformed into a movie set Monday afternoon for the filming of the upcoming movie "After the Fall" starring David Duchovny. Set designers prepared the Toy Chest and Baskin-Robbins for the scene. 

The film will be a drama based on the story of a 13-year-old Greenwich girl who died of rabies in 1995 after being bitten by a bat. "After the unexpected death of their daughter, a couple work to build a state of the art children's hospital where families are welcomed into the healing process," the film's imdb.com's profile reads.  

The girl, Maria Fareri, was a third-grader at Central Middle School in Greenwich when she became the first person to die of rabies in the state of Connecticut since 1932. Fareri was admitted to the Westchester County Medical Center on Sept. 25, 1995, and died 10 days later, on Oct. 3, according to an Oct. 5, 1995, article in The New York Times. Once a person has demonstrated symptoms of rabies, it is too late for treatment, and death is certain, the article said. "My tragedy as a physician is, she comes in, and I can't do a thing for her," a pediatric neurologist at the hospital, Dr. Tony Wolff, is quoted as saying in the article. Shooting for the film in New Canaan was delayed because of Hurricane Sandy, according to Town Administrator Tom Stadler.

Public meetings are a common sight inside City Hall, but Wednesday, the building served as the set for an independent movie starring David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton and Hope Davis. The movie, “After the Fall,” is inspired by true events that led to the founding of the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, which served as a model for including family in the healing process. The hospital is in Valhalla, N.Y. Duchovny, probably best known for his TV role in “The X Files,” and Hope Davis play parents whose daughter dies but go on to help form the new children’s hospital. Movie crews arrived at 6 a.m. Several trucks lined up adjacent to the building, and dozens of cables snaked their way through the auditorium and the surrounding halls for the shoot. The crew shot two scenes for the movie.

One scene was a town council meeting where a concerned citizen gives a speech about how a local developer manages to get around zoning restrictions. Duchovny’s character sat in the back of the auditorium listening.

The large scope of the auditorium was one of the reasons it was chosen for the scene.

“We just loved the look and feel of it,” said Anthony Mastromauro, producer for the movie. “We are happy to work here, and the people are friendly.”

The main entrance to the hall was left open during the scene to give it the feel that any person could walk into the meeting, he said.

Mayor Ben Blake’s personal office was transformed into a New York senator’s office for the day.

“This is great exposure for Milford,” Blake said. “It’s also good for the downtown shops and businesses as people come in and out.” Continued...
