Bayfield movie shoot ends

Bayfield will be a little quieter now after most of the cast and crew of the action thriller 'Trigger Point' shifted back to Toronto.

They spent the last week shooting scenes in Bayfield.

Director Brad Turner was born in Bayfield and still lives in the village about half of every year.

He says all of the roughly one hundred cast and crew members thoroughly enjoyed their time in Bayfield and look forward to coming back.

But Turner says from a film makers point of view, a village like Bayfield separates itself from many other small towns.

“The fact that the main street isn't an artery of a highway system. The main street is a separate road that doesn't incorporate the highway and a lot of Ontario towns are structured so they're situated on a main highway, because that's how town's were built, for transportation,” said Turner. “Towns like Goderich and Bayfield would be much more suited for shooting because you can control the amount of traffic, so it's a huge advantage for film makers."

Turner says the disadvantage for Bayfield and other communities in Huron County is they're two and a half hours from Toronto.

But he points out that sometimes the advantages make the trip worthwhile.
