'See Kate Run' crews transform Shawmut's Joe V's

Crews from the currently-in-production ABC-TV pilot "See Kate Run" have taken over the picturesque Union Park in the South End today between Tremont and Shawmut Ave. Set designers were busy transforming Joe V's located at 315 Shawmut Ave., an Italian eatery across the street from the South End Buttery, into an upscale lobster restaurant called the "Bean Town Lobster Company" or "B.T.L.C."

FTP Productions LLC, the group orchestrating the massive shoot for ABC, literally moved out all of the cars normally parked down the tree-lined street and replaced them with rentals. A crane was set up for a sweeping birds-eye shot of Union Park.

Filming is slotted to run into the evening of Saturday, April 4 until the wee hours of Sunday, April 5.

Starring Amy Smart in the main role, the series follows a Boston-based district attorney destined to become the first female president. The pilot also stars Liza Lapira from "21" and local actor Sean Paul Cormier. A crew member confirmed that the pilot is now officially called "See Kate Run" and it's Kate with a "K" and not a "C."
