MANCHESTER – A film production set to get under way this fall could pump as much as $2 million to $3 million into the economies of Manchester and the Seacoast region, those affiliated with the project said yesterday.

Mark Constance, a producer of the film "Losing Jerry," a buddy film about three friends with a shared love for the Grateful Dead's music, said the $6.3 million movie would start shooting in September. The Verizon Wireless Arena and Manchester Airport are among the sites where filming is expected to take place, Constance said.

"It'll bring probably millions of dollars into the New Hampshire economy," said Constance, who estimated that at least a quarter of the budget would be spent locally. "Money will go into hotels, restaurants, banks. We'll be shooting here."
