Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m gonna spill the beans on my little adventure trying to figure out what movies were shot right here in Spokane. Honestly, I thought it would be a simple Google search, but boy, was I wrong!
The Initial (and Frustrating) Search
So, I started where everyone starts – Google. I typed in “films made in Spokane,” and… well, it wasn’t pretty. I got a bunch of random lists, some outdated articles, and a whole lotta nothin’. I spent a good hour clicking around, getting more and more frustrated. It was like trying to find a specific grain of sand on a beach.
Digging Deeper (and Getting Dirtier)
Next, I figured I’d try some specific movie sites. I went to a few of the big ones, thinking they’d have some fancy search-by-location feature. Nope. More dead ends. I was starting to feel like I was on a wild goose chase. I even tried some forums and online groups dedicated to movies, but it was mostly people arguing about which Star Wars movie was the best. Helpful, but not for my mission.
Getting Local Help
Then, it hit me: I needed to go local! I found a couple of Spokane-based film groups online, and reached out. I explained my little project. Thankfully, I stumbled upon an old-timer who knew all the secrets of filming in spokane.
- First, they pointed me to a few older articles that actually had reliable info, which was a goldmine!
- Then, they even shared some personal anecdotes about running into film crews downtown back in the day.
It’s really awsome.
The Results (Finally!)
After all that digging, I finally managed to compile a decent list of movies filmed in Spokane. It’s not exhaustive, mind you, but it’s way better than what I started with. I even found out about a few indie films I’d never heard of before, which was a cool bonus!
So, the lesson here? Sometimes, the internet isn’t the all-knowing oracle we think it is. Sometimes, you gotta get your hands dirty, ask around, and talk to real people. It might take longer, but the results are way more satisfying.
And hey, I got a pretty cool story out of it, right? Now I’m gonna go watch one of those Spokane-made movies… once I figure out which one to pick!
