Paul Hammel, Nebraska Examiner A Nebraska native has returned home to film a Nebraska story, in large part because of a new state grant program for filmmaking. Adam Rehmeier, now a Michigan-based screenwriter and director, has been shooting his coming-of-age comedy, “Snack Shack,” in his hometown of Nebraska City as part of a six-week shooting schedule.
Both state and local grants are available to filmmakers who want to make a movie or TV show in the Cornhusker State. “The Snack Shack,” currently filming in Nebraska City, received $200,000 from the Nebraska Film Office and $50,000 from the Nebraska City Economic Development Growth fund before filming began.
Movies have been filmed in Nebraska for more than 80 years, beginning with the MGM classic, “Boys Town,” starring Spencer Tracy in 1938 and continuing today with “The Snack Shack” here in Nebraska City.
