[…] On a ultra-low budget, Kelly-Bailey said she is fortunate to have such a talented cast, which includes actor William Sadler, who was also in “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” and Philip Casnoff, who starred in the mini-series “North and South” with Patrick Swayze. […]

According to Thedailystar.com filming started May 17 in Essex County.

Lori Kelly-Bailey also worked on the script of “Silent But Deadly”. In this film William Sadler played John Capper.
