A character drama disguised as a procedural, Prodigals gives a fresh coat of paint to the proverbial return to the hometown. There are no plain heroes and villains in this story, just a group of people struggling to keep their head above water. Friendships have grown complicated by familiarity, resentment, and lies. A lot of lies.
Prodigals was directed by Michelle Ouellet and written by Nicholas Carella, who also co-stars.
The Canadian Crew talked at length with Michelle and Nick. We discussed the challenges of juggling multiple roles on set, how to make BC look like Northern Ontario, and how to best use screen testing to improve your film.

The Canadian Crew Podcast # 11: Scooter Corkle, Hollow in the Land
Interior British Columbia is having a moment. Two indie thrillers shot in sleepy communities east of Vancouver are hitting the screen this winter. Sweet Virginia, filmed in Hope, and Hollow in the Land, shot in Castelgar.
The director of the latter, Scooter Corkle, grew up in the Kootenays, and used his inside knowledge to capture the milieu of the area. The setting gives the movie a realistic vibe and a degree of freshness. It's also a reminder that the BC tax credit works all the same within and outside Vancouver.
The Canadian Crew talked at length with Scooter Corkle. We discussed the casting of Dianna Agron -understated and superb as the lead-, the challenges of shooting in Castelgar, and his other project, currently shaping up across the border.
