CLEVELAND, Ohio \u2013 Stars and film crew continue to mine movie gold on St. Clair Avenue, despite bitter cold.<\/p>\n

The movie being made here now is called \u201cQueen and Slim,\u201d staring Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith. Filming, much of it at night, began this week and is expected to wrap here Friday.<\/p>\n

After filming early Wednesday morning, Turner-Smith said in a Tweet it was \u201cslightly chilly\u201d in Cleveland with a screen shot of her weather app displaying a reading of minus-17 degrees, which likely was the wind-chill. Temperatures at that time were around zero.<\/p>\n

By midday Wednesday, there was no evidence of a film on St. Clair Avenue, except for a lone City of Cleveland van. Filming was to resume at 5 p.m. as temperatures dipped below minus-5 with a wind chill in the minus-30s. St. Claire from East 61st to East 71st was to be closed for the second straight night.<\/p>\n

Melina Matsoukas is directing the movie, with a script by Lena Waithe and author James Frey. The Hollywood Reporter and other film-focused outlets have called in a \u201cBonnie and Clyde\u201d story.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, this is protest art,\u201d Waithe told Variety in July. \u201cIt\u2019s about being black and trying to fall in love in a world that\u2019s burning down around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> called that “Queen & Slim\u201d an \u201cexploration of America\u2019s social and political climate through the lens of a genre-defying love story. The film centers on a black man and black woman who go on a first date that goes awry after the two are pulled over by a police officer at a traffic stop. They kill the police officer in self-defense and rather than turn themselves in, they go on the run.\u201d<\/p>\n
