Moviemaking action going on in downtown Kelowna Wednesday morning.

Movie crews have set up along Bernard Avenue and the intersection of Pandosy Street and are shooting on top of the Lululemon building.

The shoot is for the movie "Undying" and is described by IMDB as a movie about, "a teenager who finds himself trapped in purgatory searching for a way to make contact with his true love."

The movie was also shooting at Prospera place on Tuesday and they have been recruiting local talent for the movie as well.

One of the crew members tells Castanet, "we're shooting on the roof and the actor is contemplating jumping."

The Okanagan has been the scene of several movie shoots this summer and several more are scheduled to shoot this fall and into the winter.
