  • New movie ‘Lost & Found in Cleveland’ paints ode to Ohioans

    [ad_1]

    CLEVELAND — Keith Gerchak and Marisa Guterman’s new film “Lost & Found in Cleveland” is an ode to the city told by weaving the story of five residents together through the objects they bring to a fictional TV show.

    “I grew up watching Antique Roadshows with my dad. I just fell in love with the people on the show,” Guterman said, explaining she always wanted to make a movie centering on Antiques Roadshow. 

    What You Need To Know

    • The movie”Lost & Found in Cleveland” is in theaters nationwide November 7th
    • Filmakers Marisa Guterman and Keith Gerchak raised funding for the movie independently
    • The movie proudly features Cleveland, shooting in locations like Playhouse Square, the Hope Memorial Bridge and the West Side Market

    “They’re coming with these objects that they’ve collected that have been passed down to them that take on special meaning, and our own identities get wrapped up in these special objects that come into our lives,” Gerchak said. 

    Gerchak grew up in Cleveland, Guterman in LA, but now they both live in the movie’s titular city. 

    “Cleveland is the protagonist of the film, and we really celebrate it,” Guterman said. 

    They filmed scenes at iconic Cleveland locations.

    “We had 20 locations in 20 days,” Gerchak said, filming at places like Playhouse Square, University Circle and The Hope Memorial Bridge. 

    They shot at the historic West Side Market with actor Dennis Haysbert, who made his movie debut in another Cleveland classic picture, “Major League.”

    “In the first shot we’re inside there, and getting him standing here, with the ‘Go Tribe’,” Gerchak said, motioning to the Dionne’s Meats Booth the film used as a location at the market. The booth had a ‘Go Tribe’ sticker, a reference to the Cleveland Indians baseball team that was featured in the movie ‘Major League.’

    The movie features Clevelanders as extras, like Sam, an employee at the West Side Market. 

    “Taking this concept of what people think Cleveland is and showing you, it can feel different, it can be beautiful,” Guterman said. 

    Set during the holidays, the movie cast big names like June Squibb, Jon Lovitz and Martin Sheen. 

    “I think it is the perfect marriage of material and setting. There’s a Midwestern optimism, there’s an earnestness, an authenticity,” Gerchak said. 

    Directed, written and produced by Gerchak and Guterman, the film is a labor of love they worked on for over a decade, raising funds independently. 

    “We had a book club in Cleveland that invested in the film,” Guterman said. 

    Finally realizing their vision and getting to bring it to the big screen. 

    “People have an underestimation of the film and I think they also have an underestimation of Cleveland, and the Cleveland’s of the country, and I think that they’re gonna be in for a surprise when they come and see the film,” Gerchak said.

  • ‘Big Bugs’ Exhibit at Dawes Arboretum

    ‘Big Bugs’ Exhibit at Dawes Arboretum

    [ad_1]

    NEWARK, Ohio — Scattered across 2,000 acres, measuring at 25 feet long, 20 feet wide, 10 feet tall and up to 1,200 pounds, are big wooden bugs.

    What You Need To Know

    • The ‘Big Bugs’ traveling exhibit by Daniel Rogers is in Newark at the Dawes Arboretum until August 25th

    • The exhibit includes ten 1200 pound bugs scattered across the 2,000 acre arboretum 

    • The exhibit has traveled to over 100 different exhibits 

    “We have 10 bugs on property, three giant ants, one of which is behind me and seven other bugs all around the arboretum,” said Karla Long, the director of learning and engagement at The Dawes Arboretum. 

    The exhibit, aptly named “Big Bugs”, has arrived at the Dawes Arboretum in Newark and will stick around for the most summer, complementing the museum’s mission to enrich lives through the conservation of trees.

    “All the different bugs that we have work, work with the environment to protect it and keep it going. And they all do their part. And so that was one of the reasons why we wanted to bring big bugs here,” said Long. 

    Long said the bugs not only represent conservation but were also sustainably made. 

    “All of the statues are made out of fallen or found timber, wood plant products,” said Long.   

    The exhibit itself has been around for 30 years, traveling to nearly 100 spots all across the country, helping to bring everything from ants, ladybugs, spiders and dragonflies to life, and doing it in a way that’s accessible to everyone. 

    “All of the bugs can be seen by any of our paved trails. So if you’re in a car or a motorized device, you can still actually see and enjoy our exhibit up close,” said Long. 

    An up-close look at an exhibit that appears bigger than life itself. The big bugs exhibit will be on display at the Dawes Arboretum until August 25th. Purchase tickets at Dawesarb.org.
