Randy and the T's
Thought that I would post a couple of pictures from the Paul Gross movie “Passchendaele” that Randy is working on right now.
This WW1 movie is based on Gross’ grandfather’s experience. The story takes place ~ 1917 around Calgary and on a ridge near the village of Passchendaele, a few miles northeast of Ypres in Belgium.
I understand that this movie is the largest fully Canadian produced movie ever filmed. Gross is the producer, writer, director and lead actor. It has taken a few years to gather the funding, but things have finally come together and there are great expectations for the final product which is expected to be released for Remembrance Day 2008.
Randy is the Picture Car Coordinator, responsible for the beautiful old cars and army vehicles.
Check out the cool duds that wardrobe has him in.
The pictures above were all taken in Fort Mcleod.
The pictures below were taken near Calgary.
