Battlestar Gallactica alumnus Grace Park, who was recently hired to star in the remake of the series Hawaii Five-0 for CBS, returned to western Canada to star in a short film, The First Days. According to a spokesperson, the film was shot over the course of two days in Regina. The First Days cast also included Byron Lawson, Aleks Paunovic, Jody Peters, Alan Bratt and Ron Anderson.

"It's incredible how supportive everyone has been for this film" said producer Stephen Huszar. "It's not often that a short film has such a high calibre case and crew. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with this kind of talent."

The film tells the story from the point of view of an immigrant who risks his life to get to a new home only to find he can't communicate with the people who live there. It was written by Regina's Mauricio Carvajal and was based on his own experiences. Huszar said Carvajal travelled from Bogota, Colombia to Regina when he was 17 and didn't speak a word of English. Huszar said he is now a Landed Immigrant and is enrolled in a Masters of Find Arts program with a specialization in immigration in film.
