NEW MILFORD – Sections of downtown New Milford are being used to film Myke Furhman’s new drama “Lady America,” according to town officials.
While the film’s storyline and release date have not yet been disclosed, Mayor Pete Bass said filming for “Lady America” started Tuesday and will continue through Oct. 27, depending on the weather.
“They’re going to be shooting for two weeks both here on the green and Bank Street,” Bass said. “They did have for one of the shoots one of the actresses on a horse that was going down the green and a little bit on Bank Street.”
He said there will also be some filming on Main Street.
Sections of Bank Street are expected to be closed to traffic during filming, though no road closures have been announced, Bass said.
Furhman, a New Milford native and Emmy Award winner, could not be reached for comment about his new film.
He previously directed the horror film “Candlewood”, which was filmed in New Milford in 2022 and included legends about the area. It starred Joel Bryant, who was in “Monk”; Lisann Valentine from “The Blacklist”; and Jeffrey Alan Solon from “Founders Day”.
Furhman wrote “Candlewood” with Joseph Patrick Conroy and New Milford native Victoria Flores-Argue, the film’s executive producer.
“Candlewood” celebrated its world premiere in January 2024 and was shown at local theaters for select screenings this past spring. The movie began streaming on Amazon, Apple TV+ and Fandango at Home on March 11.
Furhman also served as assistant director of the Vietnam War-era movie “Summerhouse,” which filmed in the Danbury area last summer. He was also involved in the filming of the new thriller movie “The Monster,” which was filmed in Danbury and New Milford last fall.
