New Movie, 'History Of Sound,' Filming in Uptown Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — A film crew dealt with a soggy set on Wednesday as they filmed a new movie, "The History of Sound," in uptown Hoboken.

The new film stars Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, and is being directed by Oliver Hermanus.

Based on an award-winning short story by Ben Shattuck (which can be read here), the story follows two young men charged with traveling the country to record the folk songs of their countrymen, during World War I.

They're "deeply changed" by the experience, Variety said.

The crew set up inside the Elks Lodge in Hoboken this week and was spotted filming near Tenth Street and Willow Avenue.
