When the former Ciao restaurant recently folded, it left a new void in the storefronts of Stratford Center. Searching for a new tenant, the building owner enlisted the aid of Alden Joy, manager at Goody Bassett’s Ice Cream, to assist her in the quest. His efforts of listing the property with a description and photos quickly caught the eyes of an independent film company. Subsequent meetings and discussions ended up with a contract on the property to film portions of a new movie starring Cybil Shepard, Shirley Knight, Ernie Sabella and more. Filming starts on September 10th and runs to the 15th. It’s Stratford’s time to shine!
Take this opportunity to visit the local merchants and just look like you’re enjoying the day. Who knows, you may be cast as an extra or get a glimpse of a movie star!
About the movie, "Listen to Your Heart": Danny, a struggling New York City singer/songwriter, falls in love with a deaf girl that can't hear the music she inspires him to write. This is a story of how one man's life, through his music, touches not only her life, but the lives of many, for generations to come.

PS: When the filming is over, watch for the new restaurant to open in the fall. The new owners look promising, and we can expect to see a well-done Italian-style family destination.
