The Out-Of-Towner
In his diary on the making of the feature film Flower and Garnet, Vancouver actor Callum Keith Rennie looks back on the 25 day shoot, most of which took place in the small B.C. town of Ashcroft.



( On the day before production begins, I drive to Ashcroft with my dog, but without a map. I take the Coquihalla; there is a sign the size of a postage stamp that says 'Ashcroft'. Check into hotel. The room is very small. The carpet is suspect. I ask myself, 'What am I doing here?' Oh yeah, I signed up for this. Note to self: Never touch the carpet. )
