Make that four new network TV series being shot on O'ahu. The WB's "Rocky Point," the latest project by the writing and producing team of John Stockwell and Lizzie Weiss ("Blue Crush"), is set to begin filming here shortly after Labor Day, according to co-executive producer Rick Dallago.
Dallago said casting local people will be a priority. " 'Rocky Point' will be more specific to Hawai'i than the other shows that are shooting here," Dallago said. "We want to hire and cast as many local people as possible."
"We want to encourage and train local talent," he said. "We'll give roles to local actors that they might not normally get. I think this will help develop the talent base here, and that helps our industry as a whole."
