The Love Club: Tara’s Tune Filming Locations
‘The Love Club: Tara’s Tune’ was filmed entirely on location in Ontario, specifically in the city of Hamilton. Ontario is known for its bustling metropolis and is home to Canada’s capital city, Ottawa. The province is known for its varied terrain as well, from mountains to lush green forests, as well as tourist attractions such as the CN Tower in Toronto, the Niagra Falls, et cetera.
Many of the cities in Ontario are a mix of old and new architectural styles and are thus favored by production companies to act as stand-ins for major international destinations such as New York City, London, and Paris, amongst others. Now, let’s take a closer look at the exact locations used to capture ‘The Love Club: Tara’s Tune.’
Hamilton, Ontario
‘The Love Club: Tara’s Tune’ was shot extensively in Hamilton in Ontario. Located on the western shore of Lake Ontario, the port city is divided into two by the Niagara Escarpment, a forested ridge that is home to various conservation areas and waterfalls. This makes the city ideal for shooting both urban and outdoorsy sequences. Hamilton also has an abundance of studios and post-production companies, as well as a pretty lucrative tax incentive provided to filmmakers by the city itself.
Given its locale, resources, and the benefits provided by the government, it is no surprise that Hamilton was chosen as the filming location for the Hallmark production. In the past, Hamilton has been used as the location to tape various world-famous films as well, including ‘X-Men,’ ‘The Long Kiss Goodnight,’ ‘Exit Wounds,’ ‘Resident Evil: Apocalypse,’ and ‘Cinderella Man.’
