With the recent barrage of made-in-Mass. films and TV productions as well as two film studios in Plymouth and Weymouth hitting the Hub, Jennifer Silverstein and her boat-enthusiast husband had an epiphany.“It was like ‘Eureka!’” she tells the Patriot Ledger. “These people are going to need boats."
Silverstein launched The Boat Wranglers, a casting agency of sorts looking to connect TV production companies and advertising firms with a slew of rare and traditional water-faring vessels and other marine-related services.
Similar to her talent scout counterparts who search for film and TV actors and extras, Silverstein maintains a database of snapshots and video of all types of boats that look good on film.
“We have people send us their boats on video, different photographs--anything people could to give a good visual concept of the boat,” she adds.
Meanwhile, The Boat Wranglers snagged their first client in October, an Animal Planet production company searching for a whaling vessel for the reality show "Whale Wars."
