Movie Scene To Be Shot In Adel

John Standley from NAPA/Adel Auto Parts has announced that a movie scene will be shot in his store this January. 

The film company is Ticket Out Productions. The scene is from a movie where a woman is trying to escape the United  States to Canada. She is befriended by an FBI agent who stops in an auto parts  store to purchase a part and is spotted by those chasing him and he runs out the  store through the back into the alley where a confrontation occurs. The scene  will show the full front of the store, the courthouse, square, the inside of the NAPA store including the way out the back. 

John’s store was selected after a large search all over Iowa because of  its layout, presentation, cleanliness, ability to see someone going from the  parts counter to the alley. In addition the ability to see the courthouse and  square. In the words of the director “We love your store especially the texture”.

The art department will be here Thursday, January 8 setting up. The actual scene shooting will take place Friday January 9, between the  hours of 6 A. M. and 3:00 P.M. 

This promises to be good exposure for NAPA, John’s store and the City of Adel, as well as the Scenic Courthouse area. Originally planned as a TV movie, the decision was made to make it into a big screen production.
