Stars of a rom-com being filmed at the Fraser Coast have spent three weeks enjoying the region’s best sights, attractions, restaurants and bars. See where they were spotted.
From blowing out birthday candles at the boat club and sipping champagne at Enzos to showcasing the best of K‘gari, Lincoln Lewis and Rhiannon Fish are a tourism marketing dream for the Fraser Coast.
The popular former Home and Away actors have been spotted at various local venues and landmarks filming scenes for their upcoming film He Loves Me Not, produced by Fraser Coast Films.
The pair celebrated Lewis’ birthday at the Hervey Bay Boat Club, enjoyed the Urangan Pier Markets and got a tour of the bay in the famous WhaleSong boat all while shooting the film over a whirlwind three-weeks.
The romantic comedy follows the story of aspiring actor Holiday – played by Fish – who uses a secret love potion to win the heart of reality TV star Adam – played by Lewis. As her deception is revealed she discovers a messy but real chance for love.
It is produced by Fraser Coast Films and directed by Tam Sainsbury, with filming wrapping this week.
Fraser Coast Films executive producer Glen Winney said the two leading actors shared great chemistry and all involved were impressed with how well the shoot came together.
Mr Winney said it was just the beginning for the region’s film industry and looked forward to more movies and TV series.
“(We are) very confident that this movie and future ones will get worldwide coverage of the Fraser Coast through streaming services,” he said.
His highly positive attitude was echoed by Fraser Coast Regional Council Mayor George Seymour.
“We have a lot of potential on the Fraser Coast for a film and television industry,” Mr Seymour said.

Mr Seymour, who was an extra in the film, said the council would help foster creative industries so young people can pursue career ambitions in the region instead of having to move to a city.
He Loves Me Not is the second of three films produced by Fraser Coast Films.
Psychological thriller The 13th Summer starring Rebecca Hewitt and Nathan Phillips is being marketed to streaming services, while comedy Santa’s Daughter is scheduled to begin shooting next year.
