“When Love Springs” was filmed on location in Australia, Film Ink reported. While many Hallmark movies are filmed in Canada, this one is a big exception. The spring rom-com was filmed in Brisbane and it was actually shot back in December.
The movie was produced by the Steve Jaggi Company, If.com.au reported, under the leadership of producers Steve Jaggi and Kelly Son Hing. It was directed by Jo-Anne Brechin. This was Fish’s second movie filmed with the Steve Jaggi Company in 2022. She previously starred in their film “A Royal in Paradise.” That movie can be viewed on Prime Video.
Brechin posted on December 15 about wrapping the movie, writing in part: “Just wrapped this gorgeous little film in the heart of Brisbane. So thankful to have teamed with the most incredible people both in front of and behind the camera…”
O’Halloran replied, “Such an incredible crew! Thanks @joanne_brechin for your vision, enthusiasm and making it such a fun, creative process. Can’t wait to see the results ❤️.”
On LinkedIn, co-producer Scott Kirkpatrick shared that this was his fifth movie with the Steve Jaggi Company. Kirkpatrick wrote, “The entire cast/crew of ‘When Love Springs’, led by the incredible Rhiannon Fish and James O’Halloran have been incredible to work with and I cannot wait for Nicely Entertainment to bring this to a global audience in early 2023.”
In December, O’Halloran posted about the movie, writing: “Such a privilege to come back to Australia work with such an incredible cast and crew. I can’t wait to share this film with you. Thanks to all these legends for the incredible experience…”
