Pat McGonigle Movie (Queenpins)
The movie, based on a true story, features Bell as a listless housewife who decides to mastermind a counterfeit coupon ring to the tune of millions.
Shot entirely during the early days of the pandemic, producers needed a secure location for a scene involving a news anchor delivering breaking developments in a studio.
Instead of hiring an actor and renting a green screen studio, directors Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly asked a favor from an old friend — FOX4’s McGonigle.
Gaudet and Pullapilly, former TV news professionals who left broadcasting for the big screen, explained how they convinced producers to cast McGonigle.
“I think we sold them on the idea as, ‘Look, we don’t even have to do anything, he’s going to shoot it,’” Gaudet told FOX4. “We’re just going to shoot it in Kansas City. We won’t even have to spend the money of shooting on some soundstage.”
Pullapilly, a former TV journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker, said portraying local TV news accurately was important.
“We absolutely wanted to make sure local television news gets represented the right way,” Pullapilly said. “We see so many films and television series where they don’t do it justice, to make it feel real and organic. You know they’re not legit.”
