You better hope any potential location scouts looking at Carmel don’t stumble onto Zionsville. Though perhaps artificiality might be more appealing to a Hallmark production company.
They might do better pitching a music video featuring the band Yes.
If only I knew Brainard’s actual birthday, this would be better. There’s a sucker born every October 1, 1954, in Bristol, Indiana. This Mordecai C. DeRocker character is living large in St. Croix.
I’m guessing the no one in Carmel knows that Crown Media Holdings in Kansas City (which owns the Hallmark channel) prefers to produce the vast majority of its made-for-television programs in Canada, using Canadian crews and talents. During a road trip to. Montreal in August 2015, we stopped for the night in Hamilton, Ontario where our hotel was “dressed” in Christmas decorations for a film shoot taking place there. If not in Canada, CMH could easily find “telegenic” locations in and around their Kansas City base.
But Carmel, IN is a far more romantic setting……said no one ever.
Carmel is a nice suburb and a fine place to raise a family or operate a business, but it is not romantic, charming or unique.
If Hallmark were to take the unusual step of shooting one of its TV movies in a location that lacks the tax incentives and film infrastructure of the more typical shooting locations, it would only do so to film at a location that has beauty and/or other unique qualities that cannot be replicated elsewhere. You shoot on location in Miami or San Francisco or Tuscany, or in pretty and authentic small towns like Port Townsend, Washington or Port Clyde, Maine. And, if Hallmark needed a Midwest setting and was considering locations in Indiana, they would look at authentic and lovely small towns like New Harmony, Madison, Spencer, Nashville, etc. And, if they were really keen on shooting in the northern suburbs of Indianapolis, they would surely choose filming in a genuine place like Zionsville over Carmel’s manufactured historical pastiche.
Or what about Fishers? The pizzerias can look very Christmassy in the falling snow!!
