Girlfriendship: Where Was it Filmed?

‘Girlfriendship’ was primarily filmed on location in South Carolina, especially in the towns of Charleston and Edisto Island. Principal photography on the project commenced on April 25, 2022, and concluded on May 15, 2022. The film mainly takes place at a campsite on a beach and features some scenic shoreside locations. South Carolina is known for its marshes and beaches. Therefore, it is understandable why the makers chose to shoot the movie in the state.

Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston is the largest city in South Carolina and one of the primary filming destinations of the movie. The cast and crew filmed scenes on location in various parts of the city, including the Park Circle neighborhood. Charlestown was founded in 1670 as Charles Town, named in honor of King Charles II. The city holds an important place in American history as it was a major slave trading port.

Charlestown is a popular tourist spot, and local attractions include Rainbow Row, The Battery, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, Waterfront Park, and Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. Filming of popular shows such as ‘Mr. Mercedes, ‘The Sinner,’ and ‘House of Cards‘ took place in Charlestown.

Edisto Island, South Carolina

The cast and crew of ‘Girlfriendship’ taped some footage on Edisto Island, a sea island in Charleston County and partially in Colleton County. The island is known for its exotic shoreline and is home to the Native American sub-tribe of the Cusabo Indians. Filming took place in Edisto Beach, a town located on the island in Colleton County, and Botany Bay Beach, a nature preserve on Edisto Island. The 2004 hit romantic film ‘The Notebook‘ was filmed on Edisto Island.
