Inspired by true events, Lifetime’s ‘Nobody Dumps My Daughter’ is about Mary and her quest to reunite her daughter, Theresa, with her ex-boyfriend, Jimmy Simpson, after their breakup. With Stanley M. Brooks at the helm, the drama film follows Jimmy and Theresa as they get involved in a steamy romantic relationship. But when the former breaks up with her, the heartbreak is also felt by her obsessive and overbearing mother, Mary. In an attempt to rekindle the spark between the former couple, Mary tries everything in her power, even bribing Jimmy to change his mind. Despite her best attempts, Jimmy refuses to reunite with her daughter.
Mary is then left with no other option than to take help from a fortune teller named Anna, who suggests Jimmy’s death is the only solution to reclaim Theresa’s purity. Thus, she hires a professional hitman to get rid of her daughter’s ex-boyfriend for good. A part of the ‘Ripped From the Headlines’ movie slate, ‘Nobody Dumps My Daughter’ not only engages the audience through its gripping tale but also the brilliant visuals that keep every other shot interesting.

Vancouver, British Columbia
Nicknamed Hollywood North for a reason, Vancouver has various advantages when it comes to filming any kind of project. For instance, it has generous provincial tax credits, ample local talent, picturesque architecture suitable for doubling for different cities across the world, and the low Canadian dollar. Moreover, the suitable climate and weather conditions also play a huge role in making it a preferred production location for many filmmakers. Due to these significant factors, Stanley M. Brooks and his crew decided to carry out the production of ‘Nobody Dumps My Daughter’ in Vancouver.
Situated in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Vancouver saw many of its streets and neighborhoods turn into film sets as the production team of the Lifetime film taped pivotal sequences in different areas of the city. From what we can tell, they also set up camp in and around several actual establishments and residential properties to lens key interior and exterior portions. Furthermore, in the establishing or aerial shots of Vancouver’s skyline, one might spot multiple landmarks and other attractions, including the Canada Place, the Harbour Centre, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Science World, and the Lions Gate Bridge.
