‘The Baker’s Son’ Was Filmed in Canada
“The Baker’s Son” was filmed in Canada, including Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island. According to Vancouver Island Free Daily, the main filming locations included Cowichan Bay, Brentwood Bay, and Chemainus.
Although the movie’s storyline takes place in Windward, Washington, the movie was filmed on Vancouver Island, Vancouver Island Free Daily reported.
According to Cowichan Bay’s website, this historical waterfront community features artist studios, waterfront restaurants on the fishing dock, and more. It’s a “Cittaslow designated community,” which means it’s designated as a slow city focused on improving residents’ quality of life with a slower overall pace.
Here’s a map of where Cowichan Bay is located:
Vancouver Island Free Daily shared that filming locations in Cowichan Bay included True Grain Bread and the government wharf.
Brentwood Bay is a small village in British Columbia, Canada, just a 20-minute drive from Victoria, VancouverIslands.com shared. It’s home to the famous Butchart Gardens, a 20-hectare estate full of flowers.
Chemainus is a community in Vancouver Island that is famous for 53 outdoor murals.= and rich history. Vancouver Island Free Daily shared that filming locations here included scenes shot along Willow Street. You can see the Pioneer Days celebration along Willow Street in some scenes.
Willow Street Cafe was renamed McBride’s for the movie, Vancouver Island Free Daily reported.
Dylan Staniforth, the unit manager for the Baker’s Son, told Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News that they didn’t have to change up much for filming in Chemainus. The Owl’s Nest was converted into the Duval Boulangerie on the outside for filming, and indoor scenes for that store were filmed at True Grain Bread.
“For us to build all of this would cost a lot of money,” he said. “For us to rent all these shops for a week is less money.”
The cast shared many fun behind-the-scenes moments. Mumford revealed that she ate a lot of burgers on the beaches while filming. She said goodbye in an Instagram post on April 2.
Sometimes they filmed at midnight.
Here’s another behind-the-scenes moment.
Where they filmed was stunning. While they were on Vancouver Island, Mumford went in search of the perfect hiking spot.
Daugherty shared a series of photos on Instagram showing where he was filming and how beautiful it was.
