On the Wing (2015 film)

On The Wing is an independent American family film starring Corbin Bernsen and featuring Shirley Jones.[1] It was written by Jerry Casagrande and co-directed by Casagrande and Dan DeLuca. DeLuca plays the comic lead in the film as well.

Plot

On the Wing is the story of four teenagers who uncover a plot by a corrupt politician, Senator Sally Atkinson (played by Mary Agnes Shearon) and her oilman sidekick, Dirk E. Diaper (played by DeLuca), to slaughter bald eagles in order to get to the oil beneath their nesting grounds. One of the teens, Will Ryburn (played by Brennon Tolbert) is the son of a powerful Senator intent on running for the Presidency (played by Bernsen). The Ryburn family is also heir to an oil fortune. They are reminded of their history each day by a small glass bottle that is filled with oil and water and that Will wears tied to a necklace around his neck.

Will is an apathetic teenager who simply wants to spend his spring break playing guitar and hanging out with his best friend Evan (Derek Martin) but his father insists he learn to care by going to Washington DC to participate in a model congress program. Once in DC, Will makes three friends—Ally McAllister (Kendra Jain), Tanisha Reid (Patrice Marjorie), and Javier Reyes (Diego F Salinas). Together, the four friends discover what the villains are up to and set out not only to save the eagles but to change the future of energy in America to prevent other species that might be endangered by oil drilling.

Shooting

The film was shot in 4K in and around Richmond, Virginia.[2] Much of it was shot at St. Joseph's Villa, a Catholic charity in Richmond. Four days shooting occurred at the Virginia State Capitol, which was set to resemble the US Capitol in Washington, DC. Four days of shooting also occurred on a farm outside of Richmond.
