The Map of Tiny Perfect Things Filming Locations
‘The Map of Tiny Perfect Things’ was filmed in Alabama, United States. The movie was about to finish its filming when the coronavirus pandemic struck the world. With only two days of shooting left, the filming had to be delayed.
The movie resumed shooting a few months later and wrapped up in October 2020 by following coronavirus regulations with strict quarantine. Let’s take a look at the specific filming locations!
Fairhope, Alabama
Fairhope is the primary filming location, and all major scenes in the movie were shot there. The crew of ‘The Map of Tiny Perfect Things’ started preparing for the shoot on Pier Avenue near downtown in February 2020. Most of the scenes in the movie are shot on the Eastern Shore in Fairhope.
When the production team received the approval of the city council members to film in the downtown business district, there was an outcry that the filming might hurt business. But the crew was sympathetic to the concerns of the business owners and decided to schedule production in a manner that they don’t hurt anyone’s work.
Mobile, Alabama
Once the filming in Fairhope was concluded, the crew then went to another city in Alabama. Fourteen miles from Fairhope, several important scenes of ‘The Map of Tiny Perfect Things’ were shot in Mobile, Alabama. Regarded as the cultural center of the Gulf Coast, Mobile has several historic architectures and art museums. A few scenes were shot at the Dew Drop Inn Restaurant, located at 1808 Old Shell Road, in Mobile.
The city was considered ideal for shooting because of its proximity to Fairhope, the primary filming location. The movie finished shooting in the middle of the global coronavirus pandemic, despite the challenges. Even with the shooting delays and other major production problems, the director, Ian Samuels, has done a brilliant job.
