There’s a two-part TV movie “Shark Swarm” filming on the coast. Darryl Hannah (of Splash fame) is one of the stars. An interesting change related to the movie filming happened in Mendocino Village on Monday. At 8 a.m. a new hotel appeared in mid-block on Main Street. I did a double-take. It was called the Full Moon Bay Hotel, founded 1881. After lunch today, however, the sign had disappeared and it was the Mendocino Hotel, founded 1879. Ah, the magic of Hollywood. Filming is supposed to continue in Fort Bragg and Mendocino over the next couple of weeks. For more on Mendocino Coast in the movies and the good work of our County Film Office, visit our movies page.

Hi there!
We went and signed up to be extras in this movie, ” Shark Swarm” and so far, we have had a blast!
The people are really nice to be around, the stars, and the production people, and even the director, and others important to this production are all really wonderful people!
We have been in 2 days of extra shooting, and hope to be in the last day of extra shooting soon.
It IS exciting! for the moment, but it will be a life time of memories as well.
Cheers, Lisa Chiapero http://www.zenzoos.com

So, at what time and on what network will the new Darryl Hannah film, “Shark Swarm”, air? Thank you.
Debra De Graw said,
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your interest in “Shark Swarm”, a Hallmark two-part mini-series. We don’t know when it will be airing just yet. They have left Fort Bragg and are on their way to film in the Los Angeles area…yes, Hollywood magic will make it all come together and look like the same place, a coastside town named Full Moon Bay.
Once they have finished filming and completed their post-production they will let me know the air dates, and I will pass it on to you.
Sincerely,
Debra De Graw
Film Liaison

What a treat it was to watch daryl hannah and john schneider film in our town. Can’t wait to see the finished mini series. Who was the beautiful young blond we all fell in love with playing their daughter? Whoever picked her hit the nail on the head….they looked like a real family.

Just wanted to say that it was a pleasure having the film crew stay @ TW’s & we miss your charm and the excitment you brouht to our town for the 6+ weeks you were here. I was lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with them and every minute was a blast. They are all awesome people and I wish them the best of luck with this film and future ones. Miss you guys!

Has anyone heard when this production is going to air?
dff said,
I’ll check on it — haven’t heard it mentioned in several months. I’ll see if Debra at the Film Office knows.
Gene Brown said,
I last inquired in February 2008 about the airing of Shark Swarm and as of April I have not heard anything about the airing date. Has anyone heard anything?

Gene,
I’ll check with Debra DeGraw at the Film Office again. I never heard back the last time.

Greetings Everyone,
The Mendocino County Film Office is pleased to announce the airing of “SHARK SWARM”.
Last June and July we had a production crew in from Los Angeles to film a TV mini-series, for Hallmark. They mainly used Fort Bragg as they were on the water a lot out of Noyo Harbor. But they also filmed on Main Street in Mendocino, at the Mendocino Hotel and Twist of Mendocino, just to name a couple. After the filming here, they left our area to shoot in Los Angeles.
Many of you have asked me when the airing of Shark Swarm will be.
I googled Shark Swark and found one site that had a link with info after I heard from the production company about the dates.
Thanks to everyone who helped support the Film Office and production crew while they were here.
Will Air:
May 25
Dish/Direct 5pm
Regular Cable 8pm
May 26
Dish/Direct 2pm
Regular Cable 5pm
Check with your cable company to see if they carry the Hallmark Channel.
-Debra De Graw, Film Liaison, Mendocino County Film
