BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) -- A film crew has wrapped up 20 days of shooting in the Magic City for "Basic," an indie romantic comedy based on a short film of the same name which won Best Comedy at the 2020 HollyShorts Film Festival.

“I loved filming in Birmingham. The locations have been incredible,” said Ashley Park, one of the stars of the film. “I cannot wait for people to watch this movie.”

CBS 42 News landed an exclusive interview with Park and the movie’s writer and director Chelsea Devantez on their final day of filming last Friday.

The film is described as a love letter to Birmingham, as many of the scenes were shot at iconic locations throughout the city. We stopped by the movie set at a home in the Highland Park neighborhood.
