A trademark attorney at athletic shoe company New Balance by day, McKinnon’s no stranger to the celluloid struggles of Hollywood, having had two of his screenplays optioned in years past. Missing William, however, is his first to come to fruition, and it almost didn’t happen in his home state. “The movie was originally slated to film in Ontario, then Portland, but I was able to talk to some people convince them that when you’re shooting a movie that is set in Rhode Island, it should be filmed in Rhode Island,” he said. The shooting wraps this week and Missing William is slated for release in 2011.
