Frequency!!

[Joe]

The scenes were filmed in Astoria, long Island City, only blocks
from the Astoria film works and Silvercup studios.
They have plenty of radio props there including Heathkit SB's and HW's, I
seen em.
I serviced Multitrack  Recording studio gear there, I accuired one of 3
used.
Holliweird at it again, I was told some studio bigshot's 22 year and
electrician were
involved with the radio prop.
The cars and street scenes were farmed out to pros (Same people that did
"Summer Of Sam")
Across the water at the Saturday Night Live Studios" bluejean maker Calvin
Kli*n got his
daughter Marci a 6 digit job as assistant producer booting dozens of people
in line......(She dont know her ass from her elbow).
Get's coffee, tea and entertains guest host.
..........That's Sho BIZ !

"Other scenes were East Ozone Park, Woodhaven  area, Greenpoint, south
Roosevelt Island, Long Island City/Newton Creek area, the old Coka Cola
Plant
Cheers
