Where Was Hallmark’s Falling Together Filmed?
‘Falling Together’ is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Natalie Calder seeks to build a new life and connect with her community, but the filming actually took place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Known for its versatile range, Vancouver’s diverse architecture and scenic landscapes were perfectly suited to represent Pittsburgh’s varied neighborhoods, from cozy residential areas to busy city streets.
The city’s blend of modern and historic settings provided a backdrop that mirrored the film’s themes of connection and community, with Vancouver’s public spaces, such as parks and waterfronts, reflecting Natalie’s emotional journey toward healing and belonging. The production, which ran from April 29, 2024, to May 20, 2024, used Vancouver’s flexible locations to authentically depict the story’s central motifs, making it an ideal choice for capturing both the isolation and eventual closeness that Natalie experiences.
Vancouver, British Columbia
‘Falling Together’ was filmed entirely in Vancouver, British Columbia, a city widely recognized for its various offerings as a filming destination, especially for Hallmark. Vancouver’s urban landscape was chosen to represent the fictionalized setting, and the filming lasted only three weeks, utilizing various parts of the city to recreate the look and feel of Pittsburgh’s close-knit community. Despite being geographically different, Vancouver’s vibrant, modern architecture and well-preserved historical sites enabled the production to seamlessly capture the essence of the story’s backdrop.
Vancouver’s popularity as a filming location isn’t a coincidence. The city offers a variety of benefits that appeal to film studios globally. Its wide range of architectural styles allows it to stand in for numerous locations, whether urban or suburban, making it a perfect fit for films set in American cities. The tax benefits and the availability of skilled crew make it a cheaper option than the US. In ‘Falling Together,’ Vancouver’s urban, public and residential areas played a key role in illustrating Natalie’s quest to forge connections in her new town. The city’s varied landscapes effectively captured the sense of community central to the film’s story.
