BREAKING: Filming for the highly anticipated movie ‘Mickey Brasch’ is currently underway in Oklahoma, with crews working tirelessly to bring the story to life. Just 12 days into a 15-day shooting schedule, producers are praising the state as the perfect backdrop for their film.
On Thursday morning, the vibrant Route 66 bowling alley in Chandler, Oklahoma, transformed into a bustling movie set as a dedicated team of actors, directors, and crew members prepared to capture pivotal scenes. The film’s creator, Matthew Del Negro, expressed enthusiasm about the collaborative effort, noting, “We’ve had good luck with this crew.”
The project, which Del Negro first conceptualized 13 years ago, has seen significant evolution, particularly under the direction of Blake Robbins. Robbins envisioned shooting primarily in Guthrie and Edmond, emphasizing the unique charm of the local scenery. “You can’t find this anywhere except here,” Robbins declared, highlighting the area’s unmatched appeal.
With a budget of just under $150,000, the team is utilizing every moment to capture the essence of Oklahoma’s landscapes and communities. The film centers around a struggling writer’s journey to reconnect with his family, set for a fall 2026 release.
Actor Kate Alpers, portraying an angst-ridden teenager, humorously noted the reactions from onlookers: “Yes, I’ve had people coming up to me all shoot long and ask, ‘Are you okay? Are you mad or something?'” Her character’s intense demeanor adds depth to the film’s emotional narrative.
The local community has played an instrumental role, with filmmakers discovering that the people of Oklahoma are as engaging as the locations themselves. Robbins shared, “I like to take the community and fold the film into it,” showcasing the synergy between the film crew and local residents.

With just a few days left to shoot, the excitement is palpable. “All you can do is dream,” Del Negro reflected, as the crew continues to work hard for a film that promises to resonate with audiences when it hits theaters in just a few years.
