Expected high winds in Tauranga has hampered the setting up of tonight's screening of Just Three Girls and Rio at Wharf Street tonight.

Downtown Tauranga's Rose Webb told SunLive with the weather looking to pack in organisers thought it best to postpone tonight's event and scene it next Saturday and the same time and venue.

Just Three Girls is a short film shot by Bay of Plenty Film in 15 different locations in the CBD last weekend, the filming involved a mix of industry professionals working alongside volunteers.

The film was written by local screenwriter Daryl Belbin, shot by director of photographer Chris Kirkham and directed by Anton.

It follows the tale of Angel, Kat and Betty – played by actors Katherine Kennard, Tanya Horo and Melanie Bevan respectively – who take on an evil warlord and 100 hundred assassins for control of a magical ancient relic.

Just Three Girls will be premiered following the free screening of ‘Rio' on Wharf St, which starts 5pm next Saturday. For more information, visit: www.bopfilm.nz
