Los Angeles, California
‘A Thin Line Between Love and Hate’ was filmed entirely in Los Angeles, California. The city is perfectly situated amid a wide range of geographical features such as the ocean, desert, and hills.

One of the important landmarks that served as a filming location for this movie was the Los Angeles City Hall. It is located at 200 North Spring Street and is 454 feet high with 32 floors. The building was designed by John Parkinson, John C. Austin, and Albert C. Martin, Sr., and completed construction in 1928.
The city is also home to the “Big Five” studios – Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, and Columbia Pictures. These are also the biggest, some of the oldest and best-equipped studios in the world. Some of the iconic productions that were filmed in L.A. are ‘Die Hard,’ ‘Grease,’ ‘La La Land,’ and ‘Back to the Future.’
Los Angeles’s economy is driven by the entertainment and fashion industry, earning it the reputation for being the “Creative Capital of the World.” This is not surprising since, reportedly, one in six residents work in the creative industry.
