A fictional Buell, Fayette County, police vehicle showed up in Zelienople last week as part of filming for the upcoming Showtime series “American Rust.”

ZELIENOPLE — July 22 was a busy day for the crews filming “American Rust,” a Showtime series partly shot in Butler County.

They'd already filmed in Jackson Township, Harmony and, finally, Zelienople, where at the last location they shot multiple scenes outside of a South High Street house.

For Jack McMillin, the homeowner of that house, it had been the culmination of weeks of effort, and an enjoyable one at that.

McMillin said he'd first heard of the opportunity for the scenes to be shot at his house when paper flyers were stuffed into the door handles of his and several neighbors' houses.

“The homes that received flyers in this area were similar in some respects to mine,” McMillin said. “They all had detached garages, and the scene in my backyard required a detached garage.”
