January 2022: The Sky is Everywhere coming to Apple+

January 2022

The Sky is Everywhere Premieres February 11th

In the late winter of 2020, the Redwood Region was lucky to have an entire feature shot on location. The Sky is Everywhere, Apple Original Films and A24's adaptation of Jandy Nelson's best-selling YA novel was helmed by renowned Director Josephine Decker. The feature utilized municipal parks, a church, schools, and private homes throughout Humboldt County. A choreographed dance scene with the young star and locals took over the shopping district of Eureka's Old Town and the final scenes of the film take place along Eureka's waterfront. We can't wait to see what the amazing production team put together for the new film and really can't wait for everyone to see the beauty of the Redwood Region on screen once again! The Sky is Everywhere comes to Apple+ and select theaters on February 11, 2022.

Check out some official photos below and see what Location Manager Heather Maclean had to say about scouting and managing locations for the film in the region.

Heather Maclean on working in the Redwood Region...

Usually scouting and managing locations in the San Francisco Bay area on productions like San Andreas, The Matrix Resurrections and the TV show Blindspotting, Heather traveled up the coast for The Sky is Everywhere in her first post-lockdown production. She had this to say about working in the region:

"I think I put out about 200 letters in general for the movie and then I got between 50 and 60 people responding back. I ended up scouting like 40 or some thing of these houses… it’s a completely different world in Humboldt. All of the different architecture was the other part that was really great. I got to have conversations with a creative team like do you see that person, in this family, having this type of house or maybe we could have it be this style... Whereas sometimes when you have no response or you’re like I have this one available so we have to make it work… That was really really nice. Humboldt is very film-friendly."
