TRAVERSE CITY -- Lights, Camera, Action!  That's what residents will hear if they head to downtown Traverse City this weekend.

The 100 - 200 block of Front St. will be shut down and transformed into a Hollywood movie set.

Production crews will be in the area through early December to film "A Year In Mooring."

The movie centers around a businessman who moves aboard a sailing vessel after a painful tragedy. It stars Josh Lucas, who is known for his roles in Sweet Home Alabama, A Beautiful Mind and Glory Road.

You can see the crews in action this Sunday starting at 6 a.m. when part of Front Street will be closed down to film a car crash.

Filmmakers say the areas scenery and the state's tax incentives make the city the perfect place to shoot a movie.
