Locations

In The Company Of Strangers was shot in Toledo, Ohio in the summer of 2001. There was a great deal of community support for this project. This support included many local businesses who contributed locations and services to the movie. Below is a list of the lcoations utilized in the movie.

All of our shooting was done on location. We did no set building preferring instead to shoot on practical sets. This decision lends an air of authenticity to all of our scenes.
