WOODSTOCK, NH - The caves and caverns of Lost River Gorge will provide the backdrop later this week for a New York-based production company filming on location in Kinsman Notch. A crew of about 20 people from Amalgamated Picture Company will be at Lost River for most of the day on Friday October 15, 2011, said general manager Deb Williams, shooting scenes for the comedic drama, “Epilogue,” about the break-up of an action hero and his leading lady at the end of their adventure.

"The crew will be filming in several spots throughout the gorge, but there likely will be opportunities to watch from a distance," Williams said. The sequence to be filmed is the beginning of the short film, written by New Hampshire native Dylan Allen, the owner of Amalgamated Picture Company.

Allen worked closely with the New Hampshire Film and Television Office in Concord to come up with the perfect backdrop for the movie. Lost River, at the top of Kinsman Notch, is dramatic in its own right. It cascades on a subterranean course, under and over a steep walled glacial gorge. It flows into the Pemigewasset River, about seven miles away in North Woodstock.

In addition, it has about three-quarters of a mile of boardwalk winding through it. Williams said the film crew does not need any extras for the on-location shoot, taking place a week before Lost River closes for the season on October 23.
