Actress Jessica Brown Findlay was so happy to be shooting her film "Winter's Tale" in New York that she even flew her mother and childhood friend to the city to visit her.

The 24-year-old was thrilled to be in New York and enjoyed exploring the place with her childhood friend, reports contactmusic.com.

"You're in a city that's just fantastic. I brought my mum over to visit me when I was filming and one of my best friends that I've known since I was nine. We grew up in the same village and we were running around New York together saying, 'How are we here?' It was fantastic and really fun," Bang Showbiz quoted Findlay as saying.

The actress will make her big screen debut with the forthcoming supernatural drama, which also features Colin Farrell.
