<p>Nice quote from the filmmakers:</p>

<p>The movie, "The Last Kiss," is designed to showcase Madison, where Lakeshore Entertainment CEO and producer Tom Rosenberg and executive producer Andre Lamal attended school in the 1960s.</p>

<p>Most of it is filmed in Montreal, where Lamal says costs are about 30 percent lower because of incentives like "tax rebates and other subsidies."</p>

<p>Media entering "the set" are given two rules. One, don't look at the cameras. Two, do not approach the actors.</p>

<p>But Lamal and Rosenberg are happy to relive their Madison memories. Lamal points out that you may have seen Rosenberg last year receiving an Oscar for "Million Dollar Baby."</p>

<p>"I'd like to come back here all the time," says Rosenberg. "We knew exactly what we wanted, a university town that wasn't just a university." Adds Lamal: "And it's such a beautiful campus ... you get such great production value here - it's a refuge."</p>
