Roll ‘Em: Film sets up shop in Leelanau
RV park is site for star-studded Hollywood movie
LAKE LEELANAU — Tourists and locals in this small, usually quiet resort town were abuzz with excitement as production crews prepared to film a movie.
Workers painted, drilled and pieced together a two-story trailer at Lake Leelanau RV Park for the set of “Youth in Revolt,” a flick starring Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta and Jean Smart.
“The people who reside at the park, the snowbirds, they’re just all atwitter, like Hollywood has come to our little corner of the world,” said Phillip Thies, owner of Jaffe’s Resale & Consignment shop in the heart of town. “They’ve certainly made it known they’re available to be an extra.”
The campground is one of several Michigan filming locations, including Frankfort, Interlochen and Royal Oak.
“Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought they’d be doing a movie in here,” said Don Wilson, who owns the RV park.
