Secrets in the Snow Filming Locations
The movie wrapped up filming on February 17, 2020, well in time before the pandemic would disrupt filming schedules. Let us go through the details!
Howell, Michigan
‘Secrets in the Snow’ was filmed in the city of Howell of Livingston County. The area experiences extremes of climate, both in summer and the winter. The city has an intense history since it was associated with the Ku Klux Klan for many decades. Robert E. Miles hosted these gatherings on his farm, just 12 miles from Howell. The city has some fascinating locations that add to the character of the place. Howell Opera House, Saint Augustine Church and Cemetery, George Louk Farm, and Livingston County Courthouse are a few strong examples of this fact.
However, the Brighton-Howell area in Livingston is known for its winter activities. Ice fishing, ice skating, skiing, snowmobiling, and sleigh rides keep people entertained throughout the winter months. Various films have been shot in the area, including the stoner comedy ‘High School.’ Robert De Niro also filmed a scene for ‘Stone’ in Livingston County.
Scenes for ‘Secrets in the Snow’ were also filmed on a frozen lake. Thompson Lake is one of the closest and well-known lakes in the area. Most of the water bodies also serve as recreational destinations, such as Spring Hill Pond, Pinckney Recreation Area, and Lake Lansing.
