This film was made partially in Rouleau, Sask. This little town is now famous for being the setting of "Corner Gas." I, as well as half of my town were cast as extras in this film. I'm on screen (only me) for a few seconds. However, despite it being the acting debut of everyone I grew up with, it still is NOT an accurate representation of prairie life, nor is it unique.
The Saskatchewan film industry has been growing like crazy, and its time they get it right. "Guitarman" is how everyone outside sees prairie folk: dull and lifeless.
The casting is all completely safe, and upon completion of this film (if you aren't sleeping), you will be hard-pressed to remember anything about anyone. The acting is okay, but everyone is exactly who you expect them to be, and sadly casting is not the only area of the film that is without surprise.
