The South Pandosy corridor is set to be the scene of the latest made-for-TV movie filmed in Kelowna.

Sweet As Pie is a romantic comedy set in small-town U.S.A., but was shot in the Okanagan.

Directed and produced by Reel One Entertainment, the movie has been shooting at Gatzke Farm in Lake Country and on Pandosy Street.

Producer Costa Vassos said Pandosy was the perfect location to film the movie, with one side of the street by Marmalade Cat Cafe representing small-town America, and across the way at SOPA Square as the scene for an upscale New York office.

Vancouversa国际传媒檚 Rhiannon Fish and Kurt Szarka are the main characters, with the rest of the crew hailing from the Lower Mainland or around the Okanagan.
