Peter Facinelli wraps Los Angeles shoot on indie pool drama 1 Am Pacific Time
Production has wrapped in Los Angeles on 1 Am Pacific Time, an independent drama led by Peter Facinelli.
Wrapped is industry shorthand. It means the main shoot has finished and the film now moves toward editing and completion. The news was reported by Deadline on 14 October 2026.
Independent here means the project was organised outside the major studio system. That is a common route for lower-budget dramas, where a small producing team pulls the shoot together rather than working through a large studio.
The central role goes to Alex Vaughan. She plays a struggling pool hustler, a player who makes money by tempting others into bets they think they can win, who takes a large sum from the wrong person, according to story details reported by Deadline. That one win sets the plot in motion. It is a simple set-up with clear danger.
Facinelli is among the leading cast. The film also stars Erica Muñoz and Jeanette Lee. For viewers meeting the cast for the first time, the names matter less than the mix: a working actor-producer, two younger leads, and a real champion from the sport on screen.
Lee brings a direct link to the world of the story. She is a Billiards U.S. Open Champion, so she has competed and won at the top level of pool in the United States. For a general viewer, that is the American championship for pool played on a billiard table with cues and numbered balls.
The film was written and directed by Brandon DeLany. That dual credit means he created the script and also ran the set day to day, guiding performance and camera. On a small film, that control keeps decisions fast.
On the business side, Muñoz and DeLany produced through their own production company, Alexandria Films. They are joined as producers by Meg Saricks, Aaron Champion and Facinelli. Producers organise the money, hiring and logistics that get a low-budget shoot finished, and here the lead actor is also part of that group.
Muñoz and DeLany arrived with television experience. They previously served as producers on Broadway Sandwich, the PBS series that earned six Emmy nominations.
What makes this stand out is the fit between casting and subject. A pool story gains texture when one of its actors knows championship pressure first hand, and the Los Angeles shoot keeps it close to the crews and locations that support this scale of drama.
