Synopsis
From first time director Rebecca Southam comes a heart-warming comedy about a talent agent with no luck for picking talent. Michelle Henry is a hapless talent agent whose biggest client is Hoppy the rope jumping poodle. Luck finally comes her way when she is hired by Grant Devlin, head of the biggest agency in town. A year later and Michelle has transformed into a mean, ruthless agent, much to the delight of Mr. Devlin. But in order to keep her job, Michelle must find work for four of the worst, no talent clients the agency has, and she must do it within a week. The 'talent' consists of a stoned juggler, an out of tune singer, a retired fan dancer and a man with a passion for puppets and setting fires. In desperation, Michelle decides to put on a spectacular theatrical show using all of the talent. The rehearsals are a mess after Devlin sabotages the show, but hope appears in the disguise of the theatre's janitor, an ex-showman. With the janitor's help, the show is a big success. Not only has Michelle managed to secure the future of the hopeless talent, but she has redeemed herself as a person in the process.
Making the Movie
From the very beginning, this film was a labour of love. Starting with the writers, who produced and directed, to the cast and crew who gave their all and then later to the townspeople of Rangiora. The script seemed to inspire everyone who read it with it zaniness and sense of fun. Along with that came the wonderful talent we had in this film, who greatly enhanced the characters and the story with personal touches. Even though we filmed on a low budget, the key concentration of this project was the story and characters. The film was shot in and around schedules and even though we did work through a few bouts of the flu and sore throats, everyone's professionalism shone through as they stepped up to the mark. The production ran smoothly with most days being a normal work day length, trying hard whenever possible to finish at five or earlier, having good lunch breaks and copious amounts of coffee. We even managed to pull together the local fire department to help us with our rainy day scenes. Most low budget films would never even think of filming dance sequences, comedic fight scenes and crowd scenes, but we did and it was all on schedule and all on budget.
