![]() I essentially got to live out my inner repressed desires through this character I got to play. But, in this case, this magical fairy tale film world, these two have the courage to break beyond that friendship barrier and to…Well…you’ll have to watch the film to find out. We live in different provinces so I never acted on those feelings. ![]() Well, one night we came close to kissing and the energy was so intense I had to pull back because, to me, kissing her meant everything would change and this was such a beautiful relationship we had I didn’t want to chance wrecking that… I ended up telling her she’s the kind of girl I would want to marry and Bam! I instantly, inadvertently changed our friendship forever. Will and Emma are just like that – except in real life we never acted on these feelings. But behind it all was this unspoken sexual tension. We are cool with being weird around one another, we could tell each other how we truly felt and if feelings got hurt, we always knew that the love was there. I have a childhood friend who is a girl and we grew up together since preschool. There is a comfort between them that only decades of knowing someone can allow. Q) In what way would you describe Emma and Will’s relationship?Ī) Emma and Will have been friends since childhood. So, I was aware of my co-star Amber Marshall who is the lead on CBC’s “Heartland.” Pretty exciting surprise to get to work with the Legend of “Amy.” Amber really is a master of her craft, she made everything seem so effortless, it was beautiful to watch and to work with her. Lots of nature and wildlife, that’s my kind of thing. I’m a country boy and I always said I would love to be on a show like “Heartland” one day. Nina Kiri and I had hung out before but other than that it was all fresh faces. Q) Were you familiar with any of your co-stars before working with them on the film?Ī) Like I said above, I knew the whole crew essentially and one of the other cast mates. That’s the kind of thing that gets me excited! And on top of that, I had done two other films with this production company so there was a comfortability and familiarity with everyone on set so I knew I would have the freedom to take risks and play. I was excited to explore this man’s life. You know, that whole concept of all the different lives we could’ve lived based on every little decision we make, infinite possibilities of who we could be. If certain events had taken place in my life this easily could’ve been me. Aside from the challenge, I read the audition sides and breakdown and instantly felt like, I understand this guy. Q) What was it about this role or even the movie that made you want to be a part of it?Ī) I had never been the lead in a feature film before so for me this was a milestone. It’s these types of things that bring depth to a story. And so, when you first meet my character, he seems like a jerk to Emma but there is always more to the story than presented. It goes against all of Will’s family values. So, when her friend causes a car crash and abandons my sister in her rehab, I take it very personally. The audience will never know this stuff but here’s an insider – I made up my mind that Will lost both his parents in a car crash and it became his responsibility to raise his younger sister. Every day I would come up with a new backstory for Will and he would start to make sense to me – the reasons why he does what he does. You start with basic generic concepts like that and then it’s my job to start filling in the whole world and doing my research. Q) How was your character Will originally described to you?Ī) The first introduction to your character is most often very generic, things like handsome, hard-working, works in tech in Silicon Valley, moves home to take care of his sister and starts up a town revitalization plan. Everyone comes to realize that it takes teamwork to make the dream work. Conflict ensues, feelings are hurt and lessons are learned. But in order to accomplish this goal, I need the help of my sister’s BFF Emma (Amber Marshall) who also was the one who caused the car accident and bailed on my sister in her time of need. In my spare time I start up a plan to reopen the town’s winery with the help of my friend Flynn (Andy Yu) and create a revitalization plan for the entire town. I have to return home from my career in Silicon Valley to take care of my sister (Nina Kiri) who’s rehabilitating after a car accident. Don’t you just love it when the title tells it all? Now, it actually is about love, and it does take place in the land of Harmony Valley. Q) Please tell us the premise for the movie Love in Harmony Valley.Ī) It’s about love… in… well…Harmony Valley.
