Local Film Spotlight!

Double Scoop

Film Birmingham is proud to spotlight our local film community with Double Scoop.

When two ambitious advertising executives, Nora and James, go head-to-head to win the business of a beloved dairy farm known for its irresistible ice cream, their professional rivalry quickly churns up more than just competition. As old sparks resurface, their battle for the perfect pitch becomes a journey of second chances, sweet surprises, and discovering that love might be the best client of all.

The production made Birmingham its backdrop, showcasing the variety of locations our region has to offer. Key scenes were filmed in  Montevallo, with additional spots in smaller Jefferson County towns adding flavor and authenticity. From lively urban streets to the warmth of small-town charm, the film highlights the diversity of settings and the professionalism of our local crew—proof that Birmingham can double as just about anywhere on screen.

Leading the cast are Taylor Cole (Salvation, The Originals, CSI: Miami) and Ryan McPartlin (NBC’s Chuck, Hunter Killer, L.A.’s Finest). Together, they bring the charisma and chemistry that make Double Scoop the perfect recipe for a feel-good movie.
