Hollywood At The Hunt Building
By Paul Smart
ELLENVILLE – Production manager Patrick Eaton is professional, as is Sabine Schenk, the producer he's working with on the film they started shooting in Ellenville Monday morning, Unintended. The two usually work in New York City, helping European productions navigate the complexities of shooting in our nation's largest city. She's German, his family's French. Their background is impressive, working on everything from photo shoots and commercials to academy award winning movies such as The Reader.
Unintended is written and directed by Anja Murmann, an NYU film school graduate who got to know Upstate New York after her first short film played the Woodstock Film Festival. Her first feature, Fifteen Months in May, won "Best New Director – Special Mention " at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. The two stars are Elizabeth Lail, who starred as Anna in television's Once Upon A Time, and plays Natalie on The Blacklist, and Sean Cullen, a Broadway actor with extensive film and television credits.
