Saturday’s Leo Awards brought out a lot of local celebrities and filmmakers to celebrate the best of film and television that’s made right here in British Columbia.
Meghan was at the awards with John Reardon, her husband who plays Greg Cameron on Continuum, the husband of Kiera Cameron.
The Leo Awards were a bundle of laughs last night with Brent Butt and Nancy Robertson at the helm to guide us, but a highlight was a surprise musical number by none other than Granny from Once Upon a Time.
That’s right, the wonderful woman we all know and love as Granny on the hit ABC TV Show, Beverley Elliott was there to sing a song about “Filming in BC”. It had the audience laughing and clapping along and made fun of the industry and her love for filming in BC. Based on Adele’s Rolling in the deep, Filming in BC was a great way to open the show.
According to the Director’s Guild of BC Production List, Once Upon a Time season three will only shoot for seven months!
That’s a whole three months without our favourite cast members in Vancouver. So why the change in filming schedule for the hit ABC TV show?
Our last Lana Parrilla competition had such an amazing response that we felt it would be nice to run another one.
Lana Parrilla is one of the friendliest cast members you’ll ever meet. She enjoys spending time meeting fans and interacting with them, even if it makes her late.

A huge thank you to Omari Netwon from Continuum for joining us on this episode. I know a lot of fans of the show have been looking forward to hearing it. Heck, even we loved hearing it.
If you’ve listened to the latest podcast, you’ll know that we spoke to the awesome Michael Coleman from Once Upon a Time. He plays Happy on the show if you were wondering.
Michael was kind enough to autograph an 8×10 photo for us to give away on Vancity Filming. So that’s what we’re going to do.

We’ve decided that we’re going to try and do a WEEKLY podcast for you guys from now on, so hopefully that will work out. We’re planning on recording the episodes on a Saturday or Sunday and getting it out on the Monday. If all goes to plan.
We’ve mentioned that they might not be filming Once Upon a Time in Steveston anymore, but we now how a photograph to prove that things are changing back to how it was before they took over.
Once Upon a Time has undoubtedly had an impact on Steveston. I’m sure that the local stores and businesses love the popularity of the show and the many fans that it brings to the little village, but it probably also has it’s down sides.
We had three competitions running last month and I haven’t forgotten about them. Today I’ll announce the winners of those contests and announce a new competition.
The Joel Kinnaman competition winner was: Lauren Allison
The Lana Parrilla Competition winner was: Kate Purnell
The Ginnifer Goodwin Competition Winner was: Andrea Barreto
Congratulations to you all.
We often forget how much work goes into making an episode of Once Upon a Time by the cast and crew. The props department is one of those. The show wouldn’t be what it is without them. They do an amazing job.
Here’s a video of what goes into making and choosing those props.
