Film shoots on our block: Ray Donovan and something called “Possible Productions, Inc.”
There were two film shoots on our block on Friday, June 4th, one for Ray Donovan and one for something called “Possible Productions, Inc.”
On Ray Donovan, I’ve heard of the show and I’ve definitely heard of the last name before, but I’ve never actually watched it. The show is evidently about a “fixer” for celebrities and powerful people who basically makes all your problems disappear. Think Michael Cohen for Donald Trump, I gather, but infinitely more competent and badass. The show was canceled in February 2020 after seven seasons, though a few months ago, Showtime decided to make a feature-length film to conclude the storyline. You can see the trailer for the seventh season, which was filmed in NYC, here: Ray Donovan Season 7 (2019) Official Teaser | Liev Schreiber SHOWTIME Series - YouTube.
On “Possible Productions, Inc.,” I’ve never heard of it before, but it looks like it’s a film production company that basically makes the video for big events—if you want your Super Bowl halftime show to look really slick and professional on TV, I believe you have to pay a company like Possible Productions to do it.
Anyway I’m more interested in the name “Possible Productions, Inc.” than whatever it does—it makes it sound hilariously noncommittal. Like, “we may be shooting something right now on your block, but maybe we’re not?” What are you hiding, Possible Productions, Inc.? Or perhaps I should take it more as a lack of confidence. Something like, “technically we’re shooting on your block right now but it’s nothing really and we really hope you like it and also we’re sorry for getting in your way.” You didn’t get in my way, Possible Productions, Inc., and from one possible block association to one possible film production company, you show know that at least on this block you are safe, we trust you, and we believe in you. Come back and possibly produce anytime you want.
