Dear Neighbors of Whittenton Mills,
Paramount Pictures is currently in production of a feature film entitled Ashecliffe that will be shot entirely in Massachusetts with a portion being filmed in Taunton at the Whittenton Mills. Filming in Taunton will begin on Tuesday, March 4 and continue through Tuesday, March 11. During this time, there will be periods of controlled, intermittent blank gunfire taking place between the times listed below:

March 4 & 5 - 7:00am-7:00pm
March 6 - 10:00am-11:00pm
March 7 - 12:00pm-12:00am
March 10 & 11 - 7:00am-7:00pm

We are working in close cooperation with the City of Taunton and the Taunton Police Department, which will increase patrols in the area during this time to make sure everything runs smoothly and as safely as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Production Office at (617) 451-3474.
