Sun Community News – ‘Radium Girl’ movie shot in Lake George, Glens Falls.Who knows which movie will be filmed in the region next? Rather than have visiting filmmakers work on their own, a local committee would work with them to find production facilities, etc. The hope is for this kind of committee to assist filmmakers interested in shooting and producing a film in the region. Ed Bartholomew, the head of Warren County’s economic development efforts, has established a new Warren County Film Committee in response to these productions. This growing interest in the Upstate NY area as a prime spot for filmmaking and the movie industry has been welcomed by local leaders. Another movie, “Derailed,” was shot at Lake George’s historic battle sites. “Radium Girls” hasn’t been the only film production in Lake George recently. Post-production is currently underway in New York City.
