According to IMDb, “Love on the Right Course” was shot on location in Budapest, Hungary. Based on Rosner’s Instagram posts, it was filmed there back in July.
Director Stefan Scaini took to Instagram to share his excitement about a new crew member for the movie, writing: “We managed to steal award winning designer Perrine Lejeune from Belgium to join us here in Budapest for our next film.”
He also shared beautiful pictures of when he was location scouting in Budapest.
“Sooo…this is where I’m doing my next movie. Thank you @britbristow, @agnes.bristow & @leifbristow for including me in your passion project,” he wrote in another post.
Rosner talked about his experience watching his movie.
“It’s one of the best @hallmarkchannel projects I’ve been a part of and easily the most beautiful,” he shared. “Plus it combines two of my favourite things – travel and sports. Legitimately excited for everyone to see this movie this Saturday. ⛳️”
He also posted a lot of videos and pictures while on set.
“Budapest Dump #1 ⛳️” he wrote. “Sometimes you get to go on some pretty amazing adventures in this privileged career we have. Shooting this past month in Budapest, Hungary was definitely one of those.”
He also said very lovely words about director Stefan Scaini, writing in part: “Shoutout our Director Stefan Scaini @scainprod who I had the pleasure of working with for the first (and hopefully not last) time. I dragged my jet lagged self onto set that first week and it was his awesome energy that propelled me through. Stefan has been directing all over Europe and it’s hard to imagine someone better equipped to leap into a new environment and lead with grace.”
Rosner shared a lot of posts on Instagram while they were filming in Hungary.
“Let’s stick up the world and split it 50/50…🎶” he wrote in another post.
He also has been really busy lately! He revealed that he had wrapped up one project in Vancouver at midnight on a Friday and was already filming this movie in Budapest the next Monday morning.
“6 months today that I took that bloody brace off,” he wrote in the same post. “Those 6 weeks I spent on the couch wondering if I’d ever regain full mobility drove me absolutely insane. I swore if I got back to what I was that I’d spend the rest of my life running. I don’t know if that’ll be true but I’m gonna keep going until the wheels fall off. I went crazy in that brace and I’ve been that way ever since. 😈⏰🌎”
Newbrough posted on Instagram about her experience as well.
“Heart chakra territory 🌞” she wrote in another post.
“A bridge in BUDAPEST” she shared in another post.
Actor Steve Byers had a hilarious series of pictures about a piece of bread in Hungary and messages he was getting from Newbrough.
“This is the story of Bela,” he wrote. “A piece of bread that lived in between the 6th and 5th floors of a hotel in Budapest. We met one day on my travels and I decided to give her a name. I would check on her daily and she was a constant in a crazy place. She had a piece of my heart. Even after I left the city, my legendary friends @ashleynewbrough and @britbristow would do wellness checks on her. Then…. While I knew it was inevitable, Bela was gone. RIP Bela Bread 2023”
“Another world,” Byers wrote in a different post.
