Now that shooting in West Kootenay for The Tall Man is over, locals say it was a mostly — but not entirely — positive experience.
The feature film saw crews spend close to two months in Salmo, Ymir, and Nelson.
“It brought a lot to Salmo,” says Mayor Ann Henderson. “The restaurants were busy, although most of the filming was at night. I heard a few complaints, but that’s par for the course.”
Henderson says there were some issues about the film crews blocking driveways, particularly those belonging to emergency services personnel.
However, on the whole, “it was exciting. The transformation of different buildings around town was interesting.” The curling rink, for instance, was turned into a jail.
In Ymir, regional director Hans Cunningham says accommodating the movie crew “had its ups and downs, but overall I think the town was pretty happy.”
Locations included a house as well as the old school, which was converted into a dentist’s office.
