Mel Gibson has turned Richmond, in Sydney’s north west, into the 1940's city of Lynchburg Virginia, for his latest film ‘Hacksaw Ridge’. As I have never been to a movie set before I thought this might be interesting. They had finished shooting in Richmond, and had moved on, but there was still a lot of cleaning up going on and enough props about to give me a feel as to what it takes to make a movie.
