Cut aaaaaand ACTION!

Gibsons is the setting for the Canadian crime drama series called Murder in a Small Town.

Season two was being filmed while I was there. In the show, Police Chief Karl Ahlberg (played by Donald Sutherland’s son Rossif) lives in a house at the end of the block where I was staying. In a curiously “meta” moment, I sat inside watching the recorded episodes of Season 1 on tv while Season 2 was being filmed on the street outside.

It was very fun watching all the cast and crew at work filming the show, and I was amazed by the level of collaboration that goes into tv and film. I take my laptop and write an entire world all by myself, but to re-create that world for tv and film? That takes a village. The arts industry employs a LOT of people. Watching that village at work had me looking forward to being on set when one of my own books is being filmed. A gal can dream, right?
