Council hears request for fall filming in Gay, including possible cemetery scenes
Summary
A production company told town representatives it wants to film in Gay between September and December and asked about filming in the town cemetery; the council said no application has been received, noted any Highway 85 closure would require a state permit, and said filming would be allowed if the site is treated respectfully.
Mayor Christopher J. Walker introduced an inquiry from a production company planning to film in Gay between September and December and seeking permission to film in the cemetery. The company had discussed use of an antique shop owned by Mr. Willis Everett and was referred to Council member Keith because of her family’s historical ties to the cemetery.
Council members said they have not yet received a formal application and that any closure of Highway 85 for filming would require a permit from the state. Council members indicated they had no objection in principle provided the cemetery and surrounding areas are treated with respect and that official approval will follow review of a formal application.
The discussion was informational; the council did not take a formal vote on specific filming dates, determine permit logistics, or grant cemetery access at the meeting. Council requested the application and indicated the permitting process and state approvals must be completed before any road closures or cemetery filming would be authorized.
