Rich Kids Flee INS in Indie Film Being Made on East End

Speonk studio casts for movie shooting in Riverhead, Southampton and Wainscott.

In an independent film that begins shooting on the East End this month, two rich kids from Mexico who came to New York City to party are caught up in case of mistaken identity and end up in the Hamptons after fleeing an INS agent.

Production on the feature-length independent film, “El Cielo Es Azul,” began in Manhattan on Monday and will move to the East End a week later. It is the directorial debut for Andrew Fierberg, a producer of more than 30 films, including “The Windmill Movie,” an experimental documentary set on the South Fork.

East End filming locations include Riverhead, Flanders, Southampton and Wainscott. One scene is slated to be shot at in Southampton.
