With ‘Survivor Girls,’ Alabama’s film industry looks to get rolling post-COVID AL.com 2 hrs ago
The film’s title turned out to have a little bit of prophecy.
Principal photography wrapped earlier this month in Alabama on “Survivor Girls,” an independent film described by its team as a “horror-comedy” that began filming in 2019, several months before something called a coronavirus became a worldwide concern.
Then, over the next year, its makers tried to keep the production alive in hopes of finishing the second half of the movie.
How they got there is a tale that perhaps is a sign that Alabama’s film industry, on the upswing just before the coming of COVID, will have staying power to survive after the virus.
