It's wholesome. It's funny. It's unbelievably charming. It's the next movie you want to see if rom-coms are your thing.

*This Little Love of Mine* is a G-rated, Aussie-made tropical delight that gloriously showcases Far North Queensland and shines a light on an upbeat local cast and crew. We follow the story of Laura Price, played by **Saskia Hampele** *(The Heights, Neighbours)*, an engaged and successful San Francisco lawyer on the verge of getting a big promotion who crosses paths with her childhood sweetheart back in Australia and finds herself questioning whether to stay with her fiancé.

Now I don't want to give away too much but let's just say, it's the kind of movie that'll leave a smile on your dial and a spring in your step!

I had the privilege of chatting to Saskia who simply glows in this role. We talk about everything from landing the lead to her wonderful on-air chemistry with co-star Liam McIntyre and more:

**On-screen chemistry is obviously important - how did you and Liam make it seem so effortless?**

**Saskia:** That's nice, thank you. My husband has hung out with him and I know his wife so although we hadn't spent a lot of time together, when we both found out we were getting the roles, it was a happy feeling!

**Liam as Chip, seems like a nice guy and a good co-star.**

**Saskia:** He is exactly that! No pretence, good fun to work with and he threw out a few improvised lines throughout making us laugh.

**Was it an easy process landing the role of Laura?**

**Saskia:** Funny story. I had auditioned to play Gem (which eventually went to flourishing talent Lynn Gilmartin) because planning before COVID hit, this film had a major international star attached. So, to my surprise, as it went back into production, it was sort of circling through suggestion that I play Laura. Apparently, Liam and I were envisioned as the leads.

**Are you a hopeless romantic at heart in real life?**

**Saskia:** (Laughs) I like romance and enjoy a good juicy rom-com but my husband and I forget our wedding anniversary each and every year, usually remembering five days late.

**How good are you at the game Coconut Toss which you play in the film?**

**Saskia:** Most of the shots I actually made perfectly! (Laughs)

**Can you tell us something nobody knows about you - a habit, skill or talent?**

**Saskia:** I used to do horse vaulting! Gymnastics on horseback!

**Film insurance companies don't like actors riding horses, do they? But it's a great part of this film!**

**Saskia:** Getting the script, one of the most exciting parts of playing this character was the chance to ride a horse along the beach. We were going really fast at times, no helmets, all good. But we had a drone following us and those horses did not like the drone which created interesting moments veering off into the bushes! But I did ride safely. Also filming all day, the tide had risen, they didn't enjoy that either.

**Does the *Neighbours* fan base still reach out to you, five years after being on the show?**

**Saskia:** Of course! Especially when I'm in the UK. People recognise you. There's a few die hard fans in particular who keep in contact.

**Why should people seek out this breezy, lovely film?**

**Saskia:** Having just experienced the tragic year of COVID, I made this film to tell a sincere, easy-to-relate-to love story. If viewers want to go to a cinema and switch off, to be transported to paradise with a heart-warming chuckle, this is the movie for you.

**Will we see the continuing story of Laura and Chip?**

**Saskia:** hadn't thought of a sequel! But if people love it, why not?

***This Little Love of Mine,* Rated G, in selected Australian cinemas now. Coming soon to digital on demand.**
