This is a new location for me. Located in Carolina Beach State Park, in Carolina Beach, NC the park has been host to several film productions in the past. Most recently I worked on "We're the Miller's" which used the Campgrounds for the camp-out family Pictionary Game scenes.

Pictured below, Sugar Loaf, is the highest point in New Hanover County. Used as an encampment during the Civil War, is sits approx. a mile off the parks main road. Only accessible by foot and ATV to the public, this is a great place to go for a change of scenery and a little tranquility. 




Sutton Lake Road, leads to Sutton Lake. The lakes serve as the cooling lakes for the Duke-Progress Energy Power Plant located in Brunswick County, NC. This is the closets look you can find around here to double as Mexico. On WtM, we needed to film in the desert scenes. Unable to find a location with the exact desert look the production was going for, they moved to New Mexico to complete the filming. Somethings just cannot be mistaken for the real thing.




The Murchison Building, one of Wilmington the most historic buildings has a very convenient tunnel located in its courtyard. It has been used by countless productions for its urban look and it ability to cut into another location. Personally, I love the look of this location. Turn your head and you are transported to a major metropolitan city.
