PERTH AMBOY — Mayor Wilda Diaz and the City of Perth Amboy welcome actress Odeya Rush, who is starring in a new Walt Disney Film, “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” in theaters August 15th.

Fifteen year old actress Odeya Rush will be working on an upcoming short film with film producer Rodrigo A. Orozco, a former Perth Amboy resident who has sought a career in film production since graduating Perth Amboy High School in 2004. He recently served as the Production Coordinator on a film starring Michael Cera, Juno Temple, and Emily Browning, which is set for a theatrical release in 2013.

Rush will star in the film titled “Little Girl Blue,” based on a short original screenplay. Orozco will be working with writer and director Molly Fisher to oversee a cast and crew of twenty. Filming will take place from August 16th – August 20th in several locations in Perth Amboy, including two private homes, the waterfront area, Lewis and High Street for outdoor scenes.

“Though Orozco had the opportunity to produce this film anywhere in the tri-state area, he decided to hold it in Perth Amboy! This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our city, businesses and to especially take pride in one of our very own Perth Amboy residents,” said Mayor Wilda Diaz.
