Share Your Love Story
Love comes in many forms and often we don’t recognize it, even when it is staring us right in the face. Love may begin as a rivalry with someone we are fiercely competitive with, as was the case with Anne and Gilbert. Who can forget their first meeting that ended with Gilbert getting a slate broken over his head?

Anne’s Long Journey to Green Gables
Perhaps the most memorable sequence of all the Anne films is Anne’s journey from the train station to Green Gables with Matthew. On screen, this wonderful scene flows seamlessly from one shot to the next as though we were watching it unfold in real time. The reality however, is that the scene took months to complete using multiple locations in Ontario and P.E.I. and Richard Farnsworth wasn’t even in several of the shots.

In the words of Katherine Brooke from Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel, if people, “want to know - not just believe that the world is round,” they may want to try this more organic traveling experience.

Train Tracks to Nowhere
“What lies before us down the tracks? A head?”This is one of my favorite lines from Wind at my Back and it came from the episode “Train to Nowhere”. Strangely enough, we actually had train tracks to nowhere on the Wind at My Back set. Fortunately we never found a head on them but we did find some surprises now and then.

The Great, Movable New Bedford Train Station
One of the biggest dilemma’s during the filming of the first season of Wind at my Back was how to get the various characters from place to place. Cars were a luxury that few could afford in the 1930’s, so most people travelled long distances by train. However, trying to find period appropriate train stations and trains these days is extremely difficult… especially in the same location. The solution: Build a train station that we could take to the train.
