Beyond the Screen: Traveling to TV-Inspired Destinations

Beyond the Screen: Traveling to TV-Inspired Destinations

Travelers are being inspired to visit destinations they have seen on screen. According to a travel trends report, 66% of travelers have considered trips to destinations based on a movie or TV show they’ve streamed. TV tourism, or tourists visiting a destination after learning about it on a TV show, can boost the local economy by increasing tourism and spending. It can also increase cultural awareness as visitors learn about the destination’s history, traditions, and way of life.

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

- Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, The Way We Get By and Beneath the Harvest Sky
