National Commercial Shoot Draws Attention During Rush Hour

Did you notice the small production team filming at the corner of Grey Rock Road and Thousand Oaks Blvd. Thursday morning?

The crew was in the area to shoot a national cable commercial for American Bullion, an investment company, according to producer Mark Kalbfeld.

"We chose to shoot in Agoura Hills, because the homes can be anywhere USA," said the Oak Park resident.

The filmmakers, which include director Scott Dobbie, also from Oak Park, chose the home of Kalbfeld's friend Tim Sitarz, a veteran film and television stunt man (Alex Cross, Battleship).

"For once, we're not going to commute to Burbank," said Kalbfeld, also known for producing Toby Keith music videos. "We're going to stay right here at home."

The commercial, which will be seen on such cable news networks as MSNBC and Fox News, will begin airing February 15, Kalbfeld said.
