Its right on the water.
Everywhere you look is aesthetically pleasing.
So the movie is that much more beautiful for having been shot here.
And the people are just fantastic.
The way we were embraced by the whole town, Cahill said.
I love working in Florida and I love working in Dunedin.
Its the first time that I had ever done that.
Like Erin was saying, its the most charming little beachside community that I know of.
Its kinda like the best kept secret in Florida.
Jesse Kove added, the culture here in Dunedin is unlike anything Ive ever experienced.
Just being able to shoot on the beaches like we did was just very memorable.
And Dunedin itself is a character within the movie.
That is true, and we might argue that the beauty of Dunedin really steals the spotlight.
If youve ever been to the charming beach town, youll recognize many real locations throughout the film.
(Gallagher also has a recurring role onCobra Kaiand Jesse appeared in a few episodes.)
Hes equal parts warm and endearing as he is extremely funny.
His comedic timing is getting its time in the sun in this role.
I didnt know what to make of this because its a soft role, its a softer movie.
He added, My genre is the old west so Im like, what am I entertaining?
When I got here, the chemistry just instantly cooked.
Getting a couple of emotional scenes like we did.
Martin and Jesse werent the only family act on set, as Cahhill told us.
It was a special night for all.
So it really was a huge gift to experience them witness it.
For Gallagher it was a homecoming.
Martin, who has spent a lifetime attending big Hollywood premieres noted that this one stood out.
This was much more personal and precious.
Yeah I think thats really the word.
And wed love to make another movie here.
In fact, the father son duo plan to make a lot of movies in the state of Florida.
Were big proponents of shooting in Florida.
Were really pushing the fact that Florida is unexplored in terms of versatility in locations in the film business.
Stay tuned for more on that.
