For Immediate Release
September 13, 2019
On Saturday, September 14, 2019, the newly reopened City Hall will serve as a set location for a feature film. The film, “Grim Whimsy,” a Wisconsin-based project produced by Hungry Lioness Productions, will shoot a scene involving the exterior of the Center Avenue municipal building. The filming of the scene is expected to take several hours, starting at dusk.
The use of Sheboygan’s historic City Hall in the film coincides with the recent completion of the $10.5 million renovation of the 102-year-old building. “What a great way to celebrate its grand reopening by including it in a feature film,” stated Darrell Hofland, City Administrator.
All set locations have been based in Wisconsin cities. Portions of the film will also be shot in Madison, Milwaukee, Arkdale, and Spring Green.
“Grim Whimsy” is a suspense thriller about an esteemed psychiatrist who has three days to find a missing ex-patient or his wife will be murdered by her captor.
Hungry Lioness Productions is hoping for an October 2020 premiere of the film on the big screen in Madison, WI.
