George, 59, was busy at work behind the camera directing the production and also helped arrange the vintage vehicles in front of the bowling alley.

He kept it casual with a grey jacket over a black polo shirt and blue jeans and also covered his mouth and nose with a face mask amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The director and co-producer greeted fans who masked up while while trying to catch a glimpse of the production.

Ben in the movie portrays Uncle Charlie, the owner of the bar in the drama adapted from the best-selling memoir by J.R. Moehringer, 56.
