Between scenes, the actors are seen wandering around in their costumes, artists studiously look over their sketch pads, the crew are distinctive with their safety vests on, and all are enthralled by the handsome leading man, Frisco the stallion.

Everyone was talking about Frisco, from Mount Darragh Friesians, who improvised his role in one scene.

Co-producer Anelia Bosinovska told the story, “Our leading lady Sadie, has come to see the artist and get her money for having done the deed of posing for the art class, and she got off her horse, went into the gate, and the horse followed her up the stairs and into the front door!”

The cast, crew and locals all were delighted with the filming, which is not only entertaining, but supporting many local businesses.

Ms Bosinovska thanked local carpenter Rob Fraser, for achieving “the phenomenal feat of making it look like it’s 1920, with dirt all over the road, and planks in front of the shops".

“We’re trying to disguise any concrete and 2013 memorabilia.”

The effort includes period costumes, vintage cars, a vintage motorbike and Frisco pulling an antique cart.

Candelo local Anne Hopper was seen in period dress, was very proud to have her house appear in the film, and noted the filming was “a real change for quiet Candelo.”

Robyn Whitby, of Bus Stop Costumes in Pambula, said “the really exciting thing is when you go out there today, and you see people standing out their in your costumes.

“Seeing it in action; that kind of completes it for us.”

The film is providing the big break for the leading actors, such as actor Cody Ross, who is playing the character of Mick, a returned World War 1 solider.

“This is my first professional gig,” Ross confirmed, “I just graduated from NIDA (the National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Sydney, the course there; this is my first year out.” 

Mr Ross hopes the low-budget film may make it into the big screen, saying “if we can get it there, that’s absolutely fantastic. 

“So we have to try and do the best we can and hope people will pick it up.”

Artists have been recruited to assist the film, to produce artworks used as props in various scenes, and also to contribute to a fundraising exhibition.

Ms Bosinovska explained that they hope the proceeds from the exhibition will cover productions costs and help see the film into cinemas
