Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown may have missed the chance to star in a locally shot film but he may have other opportunities.
Mid Canterbury is poised to grace the silver screen again and it may be just the start.
ChristchurchNZ has been working with a local film studio, Torrent Films, to source locations and land access around Methven to produce a film titled Trolgar & Me.
ChristchruchNZ head of tourism, Kath Low, said Screen Canterbury “has identified Mid Canterbury as being a very rich region of opportunities which will continue beyond this period of time because we have such fantastic spaces and places to shoot”.
