There was a good reason Hollywood filmmaker Dale Peterson chose the Tri-Cities to shoot his latest movie, Hello, My Name is Frank. I came up here three years ago for my nephews graduation, and I was in the middle of writing the screenplay for this film at the same time, Peterson said. When I saw the beauty of the topography of this area, especially when the sun sets, I decided to do part of the filming here. The film crew has been in town for almost five weeks, shooting scenes in Richland and Kennewick. One of Petersons assistant directors is Teresa Zorich of Richland. A recent scene for the movie was shot along Kennewick Avenue. A vintage Lincoln Continental riding on the back of a huge black trailer was towed up and down the street. At the front of the trailer were high-tech cameras, as well as sound and lighting equipment. Kennewick police Sgt. Ken Lattin provided a police escort during the Kennewick Avenue filming, which took several hours as the trailer traveled Kennewick Avenue between downtown and Highway 395 on Thursday and Friday. I had no idea how long it took to film one scene, Lattin said before filming started Friday morning. The movie is as funny as it is poignant, Peterson said. It is about an older man named Frank who suffers from Tourettes syndrome and has spent most of his life in seclusion.
