Street and parking space closures expected as more scenes shot downtown
Mar. 17, 2009 · 10:15 a.m.
Expect street closures on Michigan Avenue tomorrow as filming for “Betty Anne Waters” continues in Downtown Ypsilanti.
In an e-mail distributed by Deputy City Clerk Ed Golembiewski, Ann Arbor-based Innocence Productions announced the intention to film from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Huron and Washington streets.
Aside from the sporadic 10-minute closures while scenes are shot along Michigan Avenue, the notice said ‘no parking’ signs will be posted on curb-side parking spaces on both sides of Michigan Avenue between Huron and Washington streets.
Additionally, no parking will be allowed in spaces on the north east corner of Michigan Avenue and Adams Street as well as several spaces in the North Adams Street lot.
Starring Hilary Swank, Minnie Driver and Sam Rockwell, “Betty Anne Waters” has already been filmed in Ann Arbor, Chelsea and Ypsilanti. It was announced in February that filming would begin Monday in the Freeman Bunting Insurance building on Michigan Avenue in Downtown Ypsilanti.
The movie is based on the true story of a working mother in Massachusetts who puts herself through law school to represent her brother after his murder conviction.
