Welcome to Sal's Diner
Sal's diner was a film set built on a tight budget at Dreamscreen Australia's film studio. Set in the 1950's, this no-frills American diner is a converted train carriage with an ironic aviation theme. As the production designer, it was my job to bring the look and feel to life and dress the set to tell the story.
What is it that the mechanics at this airbase know about the pilot who just waltzed in for his usual strawberry milkshake?
