After 48 locations, 56 shoot days, and the contribution of 350 “amazing local extras,” the STAN Original Series ‘Black Snow’ has completed its principal photography in Proserpine.
The small town was bustling with production crews and high-echelon Australian actors when the shoot began in mid-2022.
Locals were saddened to see the massive crew – primarily Goalpost Pictures employees, who are producing the series – leave the town on August 24.
Airlie Beach residents certainly will be saddened to see the show’s lead, Travis Fimmel of Vikings fame, depart – although they got their fair share of selfies alongside the actor.
For the duration of the shoot, Proserpine was transformed into the fictional town of Ashford for the six-part, one-hour mystery-drama series which promises a “coming-of-age drama with the mystery of a classic whodunnit.”
Set half in 1994 and half in 2019, it follows the story of the murdered seventeen-year-old Jasmine Baker. The crime, which shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated Jasmine’s Australian South Sea Islander community, was never solved, the killer never found.
But in 2019, the opening of a time capsule unearths a secret that puts cold-case Detective James Cormack (Travis Fimmel) on the trail of the killer.
With principal photography wrapped, work will now undoubtedly begin in the editing room.
Goalpost Pictures’ Tony Clarke thanked the community on behalf of his employers, the cast, crew and producers.
“We’d like to extend a sincere thank you to the wonderful residents and the business community in the region,” Mr Clarke said.
“We have loved filming here and the level of support we have received locally has been unprecedented.
“It’s been amazing to see the enthusiasm for our series from all the locals we have met, along with great help from the Whitsunday Regional Council.”
Mr Clarke said the “series is looking amazing.”
“The beautiful locations of the region are as much a star of the production as the cast,” he said.
Locals will be keeping an eye out for Black Snow when it comes to the streaming platform, STAN, in 2023.
