GROVETON — With pre-production needs met, the production crew behind “The Beast of Trinity Texas” has let loose — the filming.
Lizzie Camp, a co-producer for the film as well as a cast member, said production officially began last week on the film, which is being shot at several locations throughout Trinity County.
Camp, who also plays Mariella Hastings in the movie, said all the working parts are in place, a process that has taken 10 months. Filming on Friday started with the end of the movie — films rarely are shot sequentially — and Camp said there are several more weeks of shooting left before heading into post-production.
“It’s been wonderful shooting in Trinity County,” she said. “Everyone has been so supportive, and we and the crew are having a blast getting to know everyone, and the cast is having a great time.”
Cam said there are a lot of incredibly talented people on board that are going to make a film as professional and as high quality as possible.
“That’s our goal,” she said. “I can’t give away any spoilers, but people that think this isn’t a serious production will be surprised, as the film is more than just a monster movie. It has rich storytelling, and will be a surprise to many.”
Camp said they have a phenomenally rich and deep script with relatable characters — “characters you want to root for, characters you resonate with.
“I think people are going to appreciate the story line; instead of just a creature feature — it will appeal to that fan base — but it’s so much more than that,” she said.
