Kelly Wright, owner of MichaelKelly's on Winchester Rd, got a phone call from a woman stating she was with CBS and they were in need of a restaurant in Whitby to film a scene. They were looking at seven other such venues but, if chosen, they would cover all fees and, if need be, any repairs. For a moment, Kelly recalls, she remembered a previous Hollywood experience that didn't go so well. Living in Blackstock at the time, she became a "goose wrangler" for the film "Fly Away Home" starring Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin, a story about a man who trained his Canada geese to fly behind his light aircraft. "They were all really high maintenance," she says. "Nothing was good enough for them. They even criticized the town. Well, I thought, you did choose to come here." This time though, it was altogether different. "The woman showed up an hour later, looked around, took a bunch of photos and left. The next day, the location manager shows up with seven others, checked out the place and left within 15 minutes." They even bought lunch for a table of customers in the restaurant at the time because they felt they'd disturbed them. "When they first called, I didn't figure it would be too big a deal because they wanted to come to my diner. But when they pulled up, I went, oh gosh, this is a big deal." After an evening of running cables and setting up their generator, filming began around 4 pm and finished at 10:30 that night. Dozens of crew worked around and in the building, all for an eight-minute scene with basically two actors though there were extras. The scene will be in Season 4, episode 4, of the series "In the Dark" which will be aired perhaps later in the year or next. With it all, Kelly was singularly impressed with everyone involved in the filming. "The next morning, an outdoor crew came to collect everything and they hired a cleaning company to clean the restaurant from top to bottom. They had 24/7 security for three days and everything was insured. When it was all done, someone drove in with cheques for us. I was so impressed with how kind and considerate everyone was." Then, as a bonus and a souvenir of the experience, the film crew left the window curtains and blinds they'd used for the filming. Would she do it again? "Absolutely." MichaelKelly's Hosts Hollywood
