CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – From April 17 to 19, a specific area of downtown Clarksville will be off-limits to commercial activity and open parking while production crews are filming a sequence for a forthcoming Amazon film called “Holland, MI.”
As crews from Nashville’s “Big Indie Holland” film what has primarily been described to the City of Clarksville as a “parade scene, set in the 1980s,” Clarksville Police Department will be present to enforce traffic control at portions of Main, Legion, Franklin, and Commerce streets between First and Third streets, as well as Strawberry Alley up to Public Square.
Filming hours will be from 6 a.m.-8 p.m. on April 17-18, and from 12 noon to 2 a.m. on the 19th. All affected City streets and properties will be returned to their original states no later than April 21. While April 17-19 is the designated, three-day filming period that will interrupt some downtown parking and temporarily close businesses along the specified streets, there is a secondary period of April 20-21 specified for filming, should inclement weather be present for the initial, designated dates.
“The city of Clarksville has finally reached an agreement with the production company to use our beautiful downtown for this movie,” said Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts. “The company had a long, and ever-changing list of requests for us, and we are assured, in writing, the operations will be safe and secure, in keeping with our goals for the city.
“I am very grateful to Jennifer Letourneau, Director of our Parks and Recreation Department, for running point with almost every city department, to ensure we put our best foot forward and the disruptions would be minimal, or as minimal as possible, during this production. I’ll be excited to see the finished product, because there’s just no place like Clarksville,” Mayor Pitts said.
According to a news release from the City of Clarksville, the Transit System will operate as usual during the designated filming period, with CPD allowing CTS bus passage through the downtown roadblocks.
The film production company has been working with the individual downtown business and building owners directly affected by these temporary business and street closures, to arrange for their compensation for loss of revenue and the limited access to their properties during filming.
After filming, a Street Department sweeper will be used April 20 to sweep up confetti that’s to be used in the film scene.
