Monongahela the movie was filmed in 2012
entirely in Pittsburgh from script development and casting to every location and song featured in the film. The Production itself lasted 35 days and a series of unfortunate events prevented the film from being finished...until now.
A MONSTER RESURFACES
A collaborative effort between 2nd State and former cast member F. Robert McMurray resulted in the salvaging of the long lost rough cut from a damaged hard drive thanks to the talents of Goat Milk Fudge Studio. The hard drive was recovered, the rough cut restored, and the Monongahela Monster released after more than a decade!
