Kelowna will serve as the backdrop for another made-for-TV movie.
Film crews began shooting this week on A Surrogate's Nightmare – the latest film from Sepia Films.
Crews were set up at Sun City Cherries parking lot on Lakeshore Road, Tuesday.
It's the latest in a movie series that included A Mother's Nightmare, A Daughter's Nightmare and A Sister's Nightmare. The Lifetime Network is a project partner on the production.
The latest film stars Poppy Montgomery (Unforgettable, Without A Trace); Ty Olsson (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, The 100); Emily Tennant (Juno, I.ROBOT); and Steven Krueger (The Originals, Goosebumps).
“We are doing things right when production companies are returning year after year with multiple productions," said Okanagan Film commissioner Jon Summerland.
The producers describe the movie this way:
Following her mother's mysterious death, Angela returns to her hometown after decades away to find her grieving younger sister, Shelley, unable to have a child of her own. Determined to reconnect and make up for lost time, Angela offers to act as a surrogate for Shelley and her husband David, a workaholic who never seems to be home.
As her pregnancy advances, Angela is courted by Curt, an old friend with whom she shares a secret past. Meanwhile, cracks begin to form in Shelley and David's marriage, making Angela wonder what kind of family she's saving. As tensions rise and everyone's motives come into question, the secret Angela has been keeping becomes a threat to the baby she is carrying as well as to her own life.
