Two minutes on the set of 'Remain' with director M. Night Shyamalan

Director M. Night Shyamalan filmed scenes for his new movie, "Remain," on July 30 at a cloister on Providence's Dexter Training Ground. The filming occurred across from the Cranston Street Armory, marking another instance of Rhode Island's rising prominence in the film industry. Shyamalan, known for his suspenseful storytelling, directed actors in a setting that reflects the state's diverse architecture. The production not only contributes to the local economy but also enhances Rhode Island's reputation as a filming destination.

Residents have shown enthusiasm for the film, which could lead to more projects in the area. The state's incentives for filmmakers have attracted numerous productions in recent years. This trend underscores the importance of local resources in supporting the film industry. As "Remain" progresses, it may inspire future filmmakers to consider Providence for their projects.
