Exciting New Movie "Young Blood" Set to Film in the Florida Keys, Featuring Local Veterinary Cardiologist Dr. Robert Prosek.
ISLAMORADA, FL – In an unexpected twist of fate, the idyllic Florida Keys will soon host the production of a thrilling new film titled Young Blood, inspired by local veterinary cardiologist Dr. Robert Prosek. Filming is set to commence in just two weeks, bringing a slice of Hollywood to the beautiful waters of Key Largo.
The film's concept was born in an unusual way. Gregg Barbagallo, a long-time client of Dr. Prosek, approached him one day with an intriguing proposition: “Hey, this may sound crazy, but I wrote a movie based on you!” What followed was the creation of Young Blood, a horror film that promises to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Plot Overview
Young Blood follows the adventurous escapades of three college best friends who journey to Key Largo for what they anticipate will be the ultimate spring break. However, their dream vacation takes a terrifying turn when they become stranded on a deserted island, pursued by ravenous, bloodthirsty vampires. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is poised to blend humor and horror, ensuring audiences are on the edge of their seats.
Filming Locations and Local Involvement.
Filming will take place at English Plaza and various scenic spots throughout the Keys. The decision to shoot locally is particularly significant, as both the writer and Dr. Prosek are residents of the area. This commitment to authenticity not only highlights the beauty of the Keys but also invites local talent and residents to participate in the project, enriching the film with a genuine sense of place.
