Ben Elton Movie is Being Filmed in the Peel Region of Western Australia

Filming of the first movie to be shot entirely in the Peel Region – Ben Elton's Three Summers – has started this month.

Written and directed by the award-winning novelist, playwright, television writer and lyricist, Three Summers is described as a fusion of romance, music and political satire inspired by the Fairbridge Festival. Production and post-production will also take place in WA. The feature film is the first project under the State Government's $16 million Western Australian Regional Film Fund, made possible by Royalties for Regions and Screenwest.

The international and domestic cast and crew, who will have every weekend free to explore and enjoy all there is to experience in the Peel Region, were welcomed with specially developed regional tourism kits provided by Mandurah and Peel Tourism Organisation (MAPTO).

Robert Sheehan (Misfits, Red Riding Trilogy) is already making the most of it and noted, “I have already been out and about enjoying the local restaurants and the food, atmosphere and the view of the Mandurah estuary at night is superb. People travel the world to find places like this. I am looking forward to exploring more of the surrounds in the Peel Region while I am here.”

MAPTO liaised with the local business community and many operators have put forward special offers in the welcome kits extending the cast and crew discounts on attractions, tours or meals.

The movie's international and domestic stars were very impressed by the diversity and quality of the visitor experiences highlighted in the visitor brochures.
