Read next: YPD looking for man suspected in several burglaries on South Side 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.

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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

All the Recent Toy Recalls That Could Impact Your Kid — What To Do
It's always scary to hear about a toy being recalled. Something that is supposed to bring your child joy could hurt them? Something that's supposed to keep them safe hurt them? (We're looking at you, bike helmets!) Each year, companies and retailers pull all kinds of toys and kids' products from the shelves because of the (previously unknown) risks they pose. Sometimes this happens after shoppers report malfunctions, or sometimes manufacturers notice these problems on their own. They then work with the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to get these out of the hands of kiddos. What's important to know, is that just because one toy from a company is recalled, that doesn't mean all their toys are dangerous. It doesn't even mean every version of that toy is faulty. Sometimes recalls only impact a very specific set of toys made in a very specific timeframe. It's also good to keep in mind that just because something isn't recalled, that doesn't inherently mean it's safe. Recalls happen when manufacturers actually agree to pull their products, meaning there could be plenty of risky toys on shelves that companies are unwilling to address. If you ever have concerns about the safety of your children's toys, you can research any complaints or report your own at Below are all the recent toy recalls that all parents and caregivers should be aware of and instructions on what to do if you own a recalled toy beyond just immediately taking them away from kids. You can also find lists of recalled baby and toddler gear HERE, recalled cribs and mattresses HERE, and recalled baby formula HERE.
