Seems that the movie is being filmed at American High, which is a movie studio in central New York which was converted to a movie studio from a previous High School. It is a popular filming location for High School and teen oriented films in the area after it was abandoned as a school back in the 1970’s.

This project marks the feature-length directorial debut for Jillian Bell, known for her roles in “22 Jump Street,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Bill & Ted Face the Music.” Bell also appeared in “Murder Mystery 2,” directed by American High founder Jeremy Garelick.
While it’s unclear if the movie will be set in 1969, the production team recently indicated a possible historical setting as they also seem to be in need of older vehicles like a 1967 Cherry Red Jaguar Convertible for potential use as a “picture car” on screen.
Roles Available:
- Marching Band Members (age 16+ or college)
- Competitive Cheer Team (age 16+ or college)
- Soccer Team Players (age 16+ or college)
- High School Students (ages 18-20)
- Children (specifically age 9 and age 12)
- Japanese Teens (ages 17-20)
