The misconceptions about filming a movie in San Francisco

PARK CITY, UTAH - San Francisco may be one of the most cinematic cities in the world, but it isn't necessarily the easiest place to film a movie. Or is it? This year's Sundance Film Festival saw two breakout hits that filmed in the city: "Josephine," which was filmed fully in SF, and "The Invite," which spent two days in the city on location. Along with the recent filming of "Artificial" and 2024's "Man on the Inside," there's a growing mound of evidence that despite popular belief, San Francisco can be a welcome place for filmmakers.

"On that bleak hill-top the earth was hard with a black frost, and the air made me shiver through every limb," so wrote Emily Brontë. In a story studded with untameable lust, unbreakable love, fierce tempers and shocking acts of revenge, perhaps the most faithful aspect of Emerald Fennell's latest film, "Wuthering Heights", to its 1847 novel is the tempestuous depiction of the remote English countryside. The Yorkshire moors, to be exact.

When the teenager woke in hospital two weeks later, his heart having nearly stopped, he had a new philosophy: "Maybe there's a reason I survived this accident that nobody should have survived."
