Stills from Shanked
Shanked was filmed entirely on location in San Luis Obispo, CA in the Spring of 2005. Rehearsals opened in Los Angeles in March and principal photography commenced in S.L.O. in late April and wrapped in early May. Sparing no expense, the producer housed the actors at the luxurious Econo Lodge while the crew were hosted by local residents throughout the city. The restaurant and bar scenes were shot at the 1865 Restaurant, which has since closed forever, making this film a fitting, final tribute to one of the finest dining establishments in this part of California!
The Shanked cast and crew screening was held October 14, 2006 in Los Angeles, CA. The evening started with a gala reception in the lobby of the James Bridges Theater at UCLA. After enjoying catered food and festive adult beverages, the party moved into the 270 seat theater to screen the film. Having thoroughly enjoyed the movie, partygoers migrated to Guido’s Ristorante in West Los Angeles for a fabulous dinner and after-party in the banquet room. From what people remember, they had a great time!
