Beauty is abundant in the coulees of Southwest Wisconsin, due to a geological anomaly known as the Driftless—a landmass of 24,000 square miles connecting Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois along the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Defined by its lack of drift, absent are deposits of sediment, rocks, and boulders left in the retreating wake of an Ice Age begun a centum millennium ago—a swath of land Mother Nature failed to destroy. In its midst sits the historical town of Mineral Point, a throwback to another era and the perfect backdrop for the heart of The Camera. Founded in 1827 by Cornish miners, Mineral Point is frozen in time and is fittingly in alignment with the nostalgic qualities of our story.

The story of The Camera takes us to France. The production team has scouted over twenty villages that are members of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France Association, and the choices narrowed down to a handful of possibilities. At the top of this list is Angles-sur-l'Anglin, a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France, two hours drive south of Paris. The Château d'Angles-sur-l'Anglin seen here is a ruined castle dating back to the 11th Century, originally constructed for the Bishop of Poitiers. A cinematic village with all the old world charm and romance one would hope to find in a film location, Angles-sur-l'Anglin has it all. In addition, landscapes and background footage featuring our hero's journey will be shot at various places across France.
