It was 1973 at 17th Ave E and Highland as a film crew took over a neighborhood house while equipment trucks and shiny, period-appropriate cars — plus a pretty sweet classic motorcycle — lined the street Thursday afternoon. The film is Photo Booth, a project from Seattle director Tim Watkins (IMDB) being created with help from a grant from IFP/Seattle, a non-profit that supports indie film making in the city. Here’s the film’s description from http://www.photobooththemovie.com/ and you can get a good sense of the funk soundtrack from this video posted to the movie’s Facebook page. Thanks to @onepintmore for the tip.

Photo Booth is a noir film set in 1970s Seattle about an idealistic young writer, Eric, who sets out to find the truth about what happened to the sexy and mysterious Emily, with whom he had shared one passionate night – only to be told that she has been murdered and that he is a suspect in her death. 

Photo Booth is the winner of the 2009 IFP Spotlight Award, a production grant featuring thousands of dollars of in-kind goods and services from the leading Northwest production companies. http://www.ifpseattle.org/
