Matthew Weiss, a native of Scranton’s Hill Section, will be shooting his movie “A Night in the Hill” in Scranton throughout July. The movie, independently funded and slated for release in November, is “an inter-denominational love story, in the vein of ‘Pulp Fiction,’” according to Weiss.

The film will be shot entirely in Scranton, in conjunction with the Greater Scranton Film Office, a project of Scranton Tomorrow, and will feature local actors and crew members. Also, the movie’s first major premiere will be in Scranton, at the Endless Mountains Theater.

Weiss is a graduate of Wyoming Seminary, and Boston University’s College of Communications. He recently completed internships at Lions Gate Entertainment and Donners’ Co. in Los Angeles. In addition to directing “A Night in the Hill,” Weiss has also started his own production company, aptly titled “Hillsection Pictures, Inc.”
