YUMA — A film crew was in Yuma this summer to scout out locations for their upcoming movie, "Back-Yard-Desert," and to get B-Roll at Lutes Casino and Cafecito on Main Street.

Arizona Edition's Chris McDaniel spoke with Director, Ethan Felizzari-Castillo, as the latter was framing shots for possible use in the film.

The full cast and crew are expected back in town later this spring to film the scenes.
