CLEVELAND, Ohio — Turns out the cast of \u201cSuperman\u201d aren\u2019t the only DC Studios actors to film a movie in Cleveland<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Production is now underway on \u201cBuddy,\u201d an independent horror-thriller starring Cristin Milioti. The actress was recently nominated for an Emmy for her role as Sofia Falcone on DC\u2019s \u201cThe Penguin\u201d and is also known as the mother on \u201cHow I Met Your Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film is being produced by Tyler Davidson, who brought the project to his hometown.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur company, Low Spark Films, is largely comprised of Cleveland area natives and residents, including myself, and we\u2019re always looking to shoot here \u2013 utilizing the talented base of local cast and crew, wonderful locations and the all-important film production tax credit offered by the state,\u201c Davidson said. <\/p>\n

The production received a $1.2 million tax incentive from the state. The Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit program offers a refundable 30% tax credit on eligible in-state spending, which puts the film\u2019s budget at around $4 million.<\/p>\n

The film is being made in partnership with Brooklyn, Ohio-based TRG Multimedia and its newly launched feature film production label, Substance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have provided the soundstage infrastructure necessary to bring this one-of-a-kind project to Cleveland,\u201d Davidson added. \u201cAs is always the case when we shoot in this region, it\u2019s been a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Low Spark\u2019s previous credits include \u201cTake Shelter,\u201d \u201cThe Kings of Summer,\u201d \u201cMy Blind Brother\u201d and \u201cThe Land\u201d \u2014 all of which were shot in Northeast Ohio. <\/p>\n

\u201cBuddy\u201d is directed by Casper Kelly, whose \u201cToo Many Cooks\u201a\u201d <\/a>the creepy Adult Swim short that resembled the opening credits of a 1980s sitcom \u2014 until it didn\u2019t \u2014 became a viral sensation. Plot details are scarce, but the filmmakers told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that the movie, written by Kelly and Jamie King (Disney+\u2019s \u201cWorld\u2019s Best\u201d), will be a \u201cnew experience in horror.\u201d <\/p>\n
