click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n(JULY 24, 2018)<\/b> The start of filming for the Montana-made movie “Pellett” closed a section of Central Avenue on Tuesday morning and for Clem Pellett, it\u2019s been a long time coming.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything that has happened up until now, the book, the articles, the documentary, and everything that has happened is surreal to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The history of the movie goes back to April of 1951 when Pellett\u2019s grandfather, Clarence Pellett, was shot to death by Frank Dryman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe murderer got let off. Three times he was sentenced to hang and three times it was thwarted,\u201d Pellett said.<\/p>\n
Dryman was released on parole and he disappeared for 40 years. Actor Kam Dabrowski will step into the murderer\u2019s shoes as he takes on the role of Dryman for the movie.<\/p>\n
“People always ask me the question if I have any difficulties taking on a role like that. I treat it the same as any other role. I still have to do all my research, but this is definitely a great project,\u201d Dabrowski said.<\/p>\n
To Pellett, it is important to keep the movie as authentic as possible: \u201cWe are filming it at actual sites and using actual cars of the time. We are going to follow the story very religiously. It is going to be right now.”<\/p>\n
The actual movie production won\u2019t start for a few months. This week\u2019s test shots will help with the trailer and create a smooth filming process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are laying the foundation for getting the props, cars, camera angles, and all those types of things,\u201d Pellett said.<\/p>\n
The reality of the movie is unreal to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis happens to other people. This doesn\u2019t happen to you. It is, it is happening. I have excitement, but you know it is the story of my grandfather\u2019s murder so it is little emotional as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The crew will also head to Deer Lodge and Shelby to shoot at other authentic sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Great Falls native is turning a cold case intro a true crime triumph.
