Movie Set

This is one of the charming spots on a wonderful farm property that belongs to a family friend. Recently, I was contacted regarding a movie that was being filmed and the production crew were having a difficult time finding a location for the last two scenes of the movie. I suggested they contact Evita and to make a long story short, I just received an email saying that on Monday and Wednesday of this week, the filming will take place. It suited their needs perfectly and Evita was thrilled to have a part in the production. It is about a box of letters that was found in an attic in a small Saskatchewan town, documents that had been smuggled out of Russia during the reign of Stalin. The letters told of the suffering and hardships of some of the families that were placed in Gulags in the Ural Mountains. My wife's grandfather was one who was so placed, but in Siberia, never to be heard from again. I will probably post more on this in the days to come.
