Filmed in Petersburg during the summer of 2014, places like the Globe Department Store and Brickhouse Run Restaurant, as well as Sycamore Street are recognizable in the film, according to reports. After being connected to Petersburg for many years through Petersburg Regional Arts Center, and now The Ward Center for Contemporary Art, it will be exciting to see our street and a restaurant that we really like as part of the movie.

Because of the historic ambiance of Old Towne Petersburg, the area is poised to become the setting of more movies in the future. Like other Virginia towns and cities, memories of the past still hang in the air and that is a factor to attract the motion picture companies.

It's a beautiful area. A wonderful place to make a movie. I wonder how many have been made there?
I had no idea she was directing a movie-It sounds good from the little you said and this town looks ideal as a setting.
Thanks, Alex, for commenting. It's a perfect place to film a movie set in the past.
Hilary, Petersburg is the kind of town you would enjoy!
Diane, the Lincoln movie was made there about three years ago.
Birgit, I was surprised as well to realize she was directing a movie. Sorry I didn't get to see her there!
