Further proof Southie ain't what it used to be: Roslindale used as Southie stand-in for gangster movie

Roving UHub reporter Jeff F. filed this report from Roslindale around 7 p.m.:

Just got back from a run to the Village Market and there was a film crew and some actor-type folks on the roof of the building. Talked to a couple people standing and watching and they said the crew was filming some sort of "gangster" piece about Southie using Rosi locations - one fellow claimed he had gotten a haircut at Rialto earlier and they had been filming there too.

They were filming in Chelsea last weekend. I guess Southie is too expensive.

I walked by the filming, too, but it seemed pretty low-budget. They had one shoulder mounted camera and no other equipment. Most Hollywood East shoots I've seen have involved a few trucks worth of gear. This looked more like a film school project.
