FARGO — On Monday, Sept. 16, Fargo became the set of a new film. The comedy, "Tankhouse," follows two New Yorkers who move to Fargo to start a theatrical revolution.
Click Content Studios, a video-production company owned by Fargo-based Forum Communications Co., and Los Angeles-based Momentum Studios have partnered to produce the film. It takes many hands to create a featured film. Before the actors can become their characters and film starts rolling, crew members work tirelessly to pin down details to help this world come to life.
Throughout filming, we will bring you behind the scenes to see exactly who makes up the crew of "Tankhouse," as well as give a bit of insight to what goes into creating a feature-length film.

"A second AD is the right-hand man of the first AD," says Burdette. "I am in charge of scheduling, making call sheets, contacting talent, getting them dressed, getting them through hair and makeup — I am making sure our talent is ready so we are on time."
Burdette says he got into the AD department through his first AD for this film just two years ago.
"Fargo is incredible," he says. "I love the tight-knit community aspect of it."
