“Drum Bum,” the debut feature film from Healy Brothers Productions, starts shooting June 6 in the Lehigh Valley.
The dark comedy involves a soon-to-be divorced real estate tycoon hiring his impoverished brother Joey to kill his money-hungry wife.
The film aims to shed light on America’s homelessness crisis, according to the film-makers, following Joey on his trip through the streets to his brother’s mansion as he encounters some of the nearly 600,000 Americans experiencing homelessness.
Healy Brothers Productions was founded by Tim and Ryan Healy. They are scouting locations for the film, including bars, theaters, offices, houses, hospital rooms and courtrooms.
The cast includes Bethlehem natives Senoll Donley as Joey, the street-performing college dropout with dreams of becoming a famous jazz drummer; Erik DeFrank as Harry, Joey’s sly millionaire brother; Olivia Byrne as Karen, Harry’s bold, gold-digging wife; and Erin Neupauer as Maggie, Joey’s sweet, innocent, pregnant fiancé.
Handling the technical side of production will be cinematographer Gabriella Megni and Ingem Media Group, LLC., Philadelphia.
