Pogey Beach is a great low budget humorous film from the producers of "Just passing Through" the web series. The Pogey Beach movie is an expanded storyline from a scene in just passing through actually. I am an Islander who has never drawn pogey but the references are great.
I imagine this movie will be a cult classic at least in eastern Canada.
I will leave the storyline to the movie promos. What I love about this movie is that a portion of the funding was crowdsourced on kickstart. The fan base helped pay for the production of the movie and we received cool rewards and the option to be in the film as rewards.
The movie was filmed on beautiful Prince Edward Island so there are some beautiful shots of PEI. The locals got to take part in the movie as extra's so they had some fun and movie experience.
I was in the kickstart funding group and also as an extra and the production team treated us great. It was a wonderful experience being on the set and seeing how much work goes into making a movie.
So watch the movie and have a few laughs. Also check out the web series "Just Passing Through" ( also the name of the facebook group) . Please also check out "Wharf rats " from most of the same group and watch for the upcoming "Who's yer fader.
And if any of you "Come from away" people have a chance to visit our beautiful island I know you will love it. We can go down to Pogey Beach and have a few beer.
