 A role in this movie was traded for a house (well, one year in a  house) to complete the Red Paperclip Project. The Town of Kipling,  Saskatchewan bartered for the role. According to the Project site,  Kipling set up an "American Idol style" auditions for the role in a  film to be shot by Public Media Works. The Auditions were held over  the Labor Day long weekend. Nolan Hubbard (qv) is the lucky guy  who got the role.
