MINNEAPOLIS — The Twin Cities has experienced a vibrant autumn. A year from now, the rest of the world may see it, too.
"Days When the Rains Came," which has been shooting in the west metro area since Oct. 10, raced to get shots that required fall color before finishing this week with indoor scenes. They feature Deephaven native Marisa Coughlan, who wrote the screenplay, as a woman re-examining her life and Beau Bridges as her ailing father. Filming is scheduled to conclude Thursday and "Days" is slated to debut next fall.
"The script really reflects my own past: going out to L.A. and then coming back," said Coughlan, who made a splash in 1999 opposite Helen Mirren in "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" and co-starred in the series "Boston Legal." She and husband Stephen Wallack returned several years ago to raise their kids — all four are in "Days" — around the time her writing career was gathering steam.
