The interior sets were all built on stages in Halifax, and I'm very proud of them all.

B I need to thank everyone who worked in the Art Department, and on the set decoration, property, construction, scenic and greens crews. I wish I could individually list and thank you all. You deserve that. I would be remiss if I didn't also thank my co-conspirators: director of photography Jarin Blaschke and Linda Muir, the costume designer (not to mention our friend and editor, Louise Ford).
