Shooting Winter Scenes in Summer
Shooting winter scenes in the heat of summer is not as challenging as you might think for filmmaker Kevin Sullivan. In fact, A Wind at My Back Christmas, which contained scenes with a lot of snow, was actually filmed in late summer, early fall. Here is a direct explanation from Kevin himself as to how he has managed to convincingly portray the season in a number of different productions, including Wind at My Back, Road to Avonlea and other films.

Behind-the-Scenes Video of Avonlea Village
Exclusive behind-the-scenes videos are coming soon to sullivanmovies.com! And fans of Road to Avonlea may be interested to learn that many of these videos have to do with the production of the beloved series.
The Road to Making Avonlea
The town of Avonlea seems so authentically “maritime” that fans of both Road to Avonlea and Anne of Green Gables may be surprised to learn its true filming location. Though made to emulate the scenic beauty of the island, with many exterior shots taken on location in P.E.I., the town was actually built in Ontario. Here is Kevin Sullivan’s direct recollection of finding the perfect spot to construct Avonlea.
Christmas in June
Christmas comes early in one of the more emotional episodes of Road to Avonlea when Cecily is forced to stay at a sanatorium in order to improve her health.
A Trip Through Rosedale
This production still captures the scene when Anne and the students from Kingsport Ladies College enjoy a carriage ride through the streets surrounding Mrs. Harris’ grand estate in Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel. This scene was actually filmed in the streets of Toronto and the location was picked for its markedly Edwardian ambiance.
