RAPID TV NEWS — Georgia-based studios Crafty Apes and Moonshine Post-Production have collaborated on the production of AMC Networks original series, Lodge 49.
Lodge 49 is a modern fable set in Long Beach, Calif about a disarmingly optimistic local ex-surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who’s drifting after the death of his father and collapse of the family business. Dud finds himself on the doorstep of a rundown fraternal lodge where a middle-aged plumbing salesman, Ernie (Brent Jennings), welcomes him into a world of cheap beer, easy camaraderie and the promise of alchemical mysteries that may — or may not — put Dud on the path to recover the idyllic life he’s lost. The series was produced almost entirely in Georgia.
