From treading the boards on Tasmanian stages as a teenager — via starring in hit television series in New York — actor Toby Leonard Moore is back in the state he used to call home.
The Bay of Fires television series has been filmed on Tasmania's west coast over the past three monthsBay of Fires is contributing to a record year of screen production in Tasmania
"We've been staying in Queenstown, meeting the locals, trying to support local industry, you sort of tap into that energy because these are the characters that we're playing on camera." "It makes every moment authentic and it's a place that some people have seen but not many, so I'm really hoping to encourage people to get over to the west coast of Tasmania and have a look."Producing a TV show in such a remote location does throw up challenges, especially managing the logistics of getting the cast, crew and equipment to an isolated region without a major airport or shipping terminal.
West Coast Mayor Shane Pitt said the production, along with a couple of others shot locally, had opened a new avenue for the region. Alex Sangston, the executive manager of the state government division Screen Tasmania, said it had been an extraordinary year of production for Tasmania.
