Film crew in Wellesley today, location manager claims it’s “nothing exciting”

December 14, 2017 by Deborah Brown 2 Comments

A video location manager has blown into town today, bringing with him a film crew and some bustle to the Rice St. area. I spoke to location manager Jeff MacLean of Bark Productions who seemed flattered by The Swellesley Report attention and told me, “I can’t say what it’s about, but it isn’t really anything very exciting.”

Filming, Rice St.
Neighbors were alerted earlier this week that filming would be taking place at a Rice St. location, near Wellesley HS.

Not very exciting. Hah. He obviously lives a life of travel and glamour, over at the Zakim Bridge one day and off to Suffolk University the next, or so a peek at his client list suggests.  Not that I don’t love Wellesley and our brand of living life to its fullest. It’s grand in its way. Still, when outsiders come in and actual cameras start rolling, my interest is piqued. All he would cop to was that he was filming an interview of a doctor. M.D.? PhD? He wouldn’t say. He did reveal that he was looking forward to lunch at Cafe Mangal. He’ll probably be the one looking all big-time Hollywood, wearing shades, and taking calls. I highly recommend the kebabs, Mr. MacLean.

Thanks to neighborhood tipsters for the heads-up on this.

Filming, Rice St.
This isn’t the first time this photogenic home has smiled pretty for the cameras. A few years back it was ready for its close-up. It seems unchanged by stardom.

    Jeff lives and works in New England and has done so for his entire career. Same is true for the majority of the crew in that shoot.

      Thanks, Tim. Jeff was a good sport taking my call yesterday. We appreciate that he didn’t mind our sassy Swellesley style. Always great to have a little excitement in town, such is our staid, suburban life. Cheers!
