It's called "Holland" and is based on my home town of the same name!🌷🌷 Funny enough, they only filmed a couple of scene here and the rest in Tennessee😅 They filmed those couple of scenes at Windmill Island Gardens back in Spring 2023 and at the time I was working there!!😄 I didn't get to meet Nicole Kidman or any actors but I did see the crew working. So I probably didn't appear in any scenes in the background🎬🤣 Overall, it's still really cool that a movie with such a well known actress was filmed and based on my home town!🌹❤️". facebook.com.
