Love’s Second Chance Filming Locations
Originally titled ‘Vintage Hearts,’ the filming of ‘Love’s Second Chance’ took place entirely in the westernmost Canadian province of British Columbia. Interestingly, the production team completed the shoot over a 12-day schedule that wrapped up on March 11, 2020. It was fun yet challenging for the production team to complete the entire shoot in such a short period. Now let’s look closer at the filming locations.
Kelowna, British Columbia
‘Love’s Second Chance’ was filmed entirely in Kelowna, a city in Okanagan Valley in the British Columbia province. The cast and crew filmed all over the city. Several scenes were shot at the Laurel Packinghouse, a heritage building located at 1304 Ellis Street, which currently serves as an event venue. The majority of the crew members were Kelowna locals, including eight actors in pivotal roles.
Kelowna is situated on the eastern shore of the Okanagan Lake and is surrounded by a diverse landscape that comprises mountains, pine forests, provincial parks, and orchards. The city’s downtown area has a lakeside cultural district, along with towering high-rise buildings. The production team also shot a few scenes at the historic Fire Hall on Water Street in downtown Kelowna.
The distinctive scenery of Kelowna, the additional tax credits, and the availability of local talent makes it a highly sought-after filming destination. Several movies such as ‘A Wedding to Remember,’ ‘Dangerous,’ and ‘The Angel Tree‘ were also filmed in the city.
Love’s Second Chance Cast
