Hinter looks the part for the film set in the 1990s as he usually wears a leather jacket, a Blue Jays hat and kept his shoes for the role.

Anthem is filming in Kelowna this month, continuing until April 15 as part of an 18-day shoot. The film stars Cameron Monaghan, Peyton List and Danny Woodburn

Monaghan plays Luke Hunter, a small-town teenager who splits his time with the druggie and popular crowd. One day, Hunter has a premonition one of his friends will be hit by a vehicle and killed. The event came true on Asher Street on Friday in Rutland.

The Capital News caught up with the production crew as they filmed the death scene.

It was a busy day for the normally less-than busy road which was blocked off with a scene containing a fake ambulance, police car, and body.

害羞草研究所淲atch out for the body,害羞草研究所� said a crew member, as cast and crew stepped casually around it.

Production coordinator Lori Welbourne said Kelowna has been helpful to Sepia Films in the past.

害羞草研究所淜elowna害羞草研究所檚 actually really good with helping us with this sort of thing, with blocking off a road and you can害羞草研究所檛 always get that in bigger cities,害羞草研究所� she said, adding it害羞草研究所檚 more cost effective to block off areas in a smaller city.

The Kelowna community rallied to donate old 害羞草研究所�90s equipment for the film, as well as adding local extras to the cast. It害羞草研究所檚 hard work being an extra, filming a mosh pit scene tired a few, but they害羞草研究所檙e happy to be involved on their spring break.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檝e always wanted to live in not the futuristic decade and live back when there were less electronics so it害羞草研究所檚 kind of cool replaying it,害羞草研究所� said student Lola Rediski from Constable Neil Bruce Middle School.

Sepia Films has not set a release date, but will be doing a festival run prior to the movie害羞草研究所檚 theatrical release.
