No, they did not move the GA/FL state line farther north, but someone did decide to film a part of a movie here.
The movie is Live By Night, and part of the film is being shot in downtown Brunswick. The time is Prohibition, 1930s, in the make-believe town of Ybor City.
They will be filming this week, so last night we decided to go downtown and see what they had done to make it into the 1930s. The area used is blocked off, and security was everywhere, but this is what we saw.
With the exception of a new cantina, all of the other structures were there. The only things changed were the dirt streets and the signage and window displays, on and in the buildings.
I am assuming that, not knowing how many of the buildings will be used for indoor shots, most all of the views from the street are just a few feet deep, that almost all of the stores have their working contents hidden from the street, ready to be used once the shooting is over.
The buildings are there to create an impression. They were one thing just a few days back, and now they are supposedly new, at least in purpose.
Isn't that what I try to do sometimes. I look one way on the outside to all who would view my life, but inside I'm just the same old person. Just an old life with a new facade.
I don't have the information on what they will do once the filming is over. Will all of these structures revert back to their old uses and looks?. Will the area become a tourist destination, or the same as it was? It will be interesting to see.
The way it looks right now is for the cameras. It is only make believe.
God wants my life to reflect His changes.
Not just a facade to fool everyone else…
Stay tuned...
