Filming Locations — Where Hollywood Comes to Shoot

The Garden District has stood in for Savannah, Charleston, turn-of-the-century Boston, and countless imagined American Souths. Production crews love the neighborhood because nothing modern intrudes on frame. Films shot here include *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button*, *12 Years a Slave*, and *The Skeleton Key*. Since Louisiana's 2002 tax credits, more than 1,500 films and shows have shot in New Orleans — many through these blocks. Walk First, Second, and Third streets off Prytania. You'll recognize the porches from something.
