About Where Was It Filmed
Connecting film enthusiasts with the real-world locations where movie magic happens.
Our Mission
Where Was It Filmed was born from a simple idea: to connect the magic of cinema with the real places where that magic happens.

Our Approach

1. Research
Our research team starts by consulting production notes, filming permits, interviews, and official sources to compile an initial list of potential filming locations.
2. Verification
We verify each location through multiple sources, including scene comparisons, satellite imagery, street views, and when possible, first-hand visits by our team.

Once verified, we document the location with precise coordinates, photos, scene comparisons, and practical information for visitors.

We actively engage our community in the research process. Users can submit potential filming locations, which are then reviewed by our verification team before publication.
This collaborative approach allows us to cover more ground and benefit from local knowledge, while maintaining our high standards for accuracy.

Beyond just identifying locations, we gather practical travel information such as accessibility, opening hours, entry fees, and nearby attractions.
