[FILM NEWS] WHEN LOVE SPRINGS Begins Filming
The Steve Jaggi Company is rounding out a busy 2022, with the latest romance feature film WHEN LOVE SPRINGS currently shooting in Brisbane. Starring Australian actors Rhiannon Fish (The 100, Home and Away) and James O’Halloran (Offspring, Twentysomething), WHEN LOVE SPRINGS follows Rory (Fish) and Noah (O’Halloran), who strike a mutually beneficial deal that takes an unexpectedly romantic turn. The film is directed by Jo-Anne Brechin (Zelos, Paper Champions) and is shooting at locations across Brisbane.
With a big promotion on the line, junior PR professional, Rory Richards, heads to a quaint B&B on Lily Lake for her parent’s vow renewal. Before she can relax, Rory runs into Jason (Callan Colley), the ex who broke her heart, and his new girlfriend. Panicked, Rory convinces the B&B’s future owner Noah, to be her fake new boyfriend and in exchange, she’ll help Noah save his family’s B&B. Before they know it, sparks begin to fly between the unlikely pair.
Joining the supporting cast for WHEN LOVE SPRINGS are Renee Herbert, Erin Connor, Steve Nation and Francesca Savige.

Producer Steve Jaggi adds “It has been a huge year for SJc, and we’re keeping the pedal down right till the end. It’s fantastic to be teaming up again with director Jo-Anne Brechin, five years after working together on Zelos. We’re pleased to have such a talented and experienced director on board.”
Nicely Entertainment CEO Vanessa Shapiro comments “It is a continued pleasure working with SJc and we are thrilled to be working on this fifth movie together in just 2 years!”
