The film is called 'Buck Mark' and is described as: 'A couple's road trip takes a high-stakes adventure turn, after an unexpected gift from a charming ranch owner leads to unsettling truths.'
The film was written and produced by Michael Egues, who also stars as the boyfriend in the film. The co-producer and director is Lucca de Oliveira, of Dead End Kid Productions. Taylor and Marco de Ornelas, of Lobo Films, are producing the film and have ties to the area.
Egues spoke with WKBN about the project, saying this area is ideal for filming because the area, as well as the Ohio Film Commission, has been very easy to work with and welcoming.
'Ohio has been just nothing but a great place to film, and I hope more production companies come out here,' Egues said.
He added that the crews were given access to a private residence in the area and will also be filming at spots in Warren, Garrettsville and Niles.
People may see them out in Warren Township on Sunday, as a portion of South Leavitt Road between Kibler Toot and Risher roads, will be shut down for filming. The closure will take place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Egues praised Trumbull County Sheriff Mike Wilson and County Engineer Gary Shaffer for their willingness to work with them on the project.

He also said Johnny K Powersports provided UTVs, and Car Culture provided a vehicle, which will be used in the film.
Egues said they have also hired some production assistants who are students at Kent State University to help with the shoots.
Egues said that while they are working on a short film, it is a concept for a bigger movie and will be presented at multiple film festivals when it is finished.
