Setting up 'base camp' for 'Remain' filming in Jamestown
On August 7, 2025, Two Beacons Productions set up a "base camp" for M. Night Shyamalan's film "Remain" at Fort Wetherill State Park. The production will shoot scenes in Bristol, highlighting Rhode Island's increasing prominence in the film industry. Local residents express excitement about the potential economic boost and tourism opportunities associated with the film. In addition to the film, Jean Blackburn's featured exhibition at WaterFire Providence in 2025 adds to the cultural landscape of the region.
Osprey populations are also on the rise in Rhode Island, signaling positive environmental changes. These developments underscore the state's commitment to both cultural and ecological initiatives. As the film industry grows, it may create new jobs and opportunities for local businesses. The collaboration between filmmakers and local institutions demonstrates a promising future for Rhode Island's creative economy.
