Chrissy takes us behind the scenes of the film Frederickstown and showcases the Albany culture and film making hub.

• Albany is a bustling community filled with nature, food, culture, adventure, and film, where Adam Morris, a writer and director, has shot his film, Frederickstown.
• Adam is working with the Great Southern Film Co-Operative (GSFC) to produce one film annually over the next decade. Starting with $15,000, Adam managed to raise a total of $70,000 in three weeks.
• Chrissy immerses herself in the culture and showcases the organic nature through an interview with two residents, illustrating the communal spirit of Albany.
• Some scenes from Frederickstown are tourist attractions featured on the City of Albany's website under 'Film-Friendly Destinations.'
• Residents of Albany have played a pivotal role in turning their town and region into a filmmaking hub. In an interview with Pollard, the discussion includes working with locals, preparing for a challenging character, and collaborating with Adam Morris and Trevor Jamieson.
• Following Frederickstown, Morris plans to film his next feature before the end of the year. Titled "Low Lie the Fields," it is an "acoustic musical about grief," starring Irish singer-songwriter Luka Bloom.
