description: When English Professor Marta Spek is offered a film consultant's contract she's fighting a bad case of year-end doldrums. She signs on imagining that exotic hands-on work at the sandy location shoot for a made-in-Canada biopic will open doors of opportunity and spark her creativity - or at the very least supply interesting material for her family's annual Labour Day gathering. Meanwhile her soon-to-be boss the handsome cynic Jake Nugent who's well experienced with shoot dynamics in remote sites hopes only to stamp out inevitable problems before they swallow the budget and cost him a job. Script changes (massive) on-set mishaps (minor) and after-hours misadventures (many) guarantee that Marta and Jake won't easily forget this week in the Okanagan Valley. A wry look at the shoestring end of a billion-dollar industry and the occasional but profound foolishness of the human heart This Location of Unknown Possibilities makes a case for black comedy being the best lens for viewing contemporary life.
