Last night the city of Rochester helped provide a backdrop for a new movie that’s being filmed in upstate NY.

All downtown business were asked to keep their lights on until 6 p.m. so a film crew could shoot an aerial scene of the city.

The scene is for a new drama is called “After” about secrets and how far some people will go to protect the ones they love.

Penfield-native Sabrina Gennarino is the writer, producer and one of the stars of the film. She joins Diane Neal from “Law & Order SVU”, Oscar-nominated actress Kathleen Quilin and Darrin Dewitt Henson from “The Express” in the film.
