Hilary Duff plays the title character in the interracial teen romance “Greta,” which is shooting on location in New Jersey.
Duff’s character is a waitress who falls for an ambitious cook (Evan Ross) at the restaurant where they work. But as their summer romance heats up, she has to overcome the concerns of her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn, Michael Murphy) about her boyfriend’s criminal past. The comic drama marks music-video veteran Nancy Bardawil’s feature directing debut.
Production of “Greta” is scheduled to be based in Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and Neptune for the next four weeks, according to Steve Gorelick of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission in Newark. “It’s being made in the $1- to $2-million-dollar range,” Gorelick said.
“Basically, the entire movie is being shot in Asbury Park and Ocean Grove so they can get a New Jersey tax credit,” he said. “You qualify for a tax credit if you spend 60 percent or more of your budget in the state of New Jersey.
