City of Frederick Prepares for Filming of “Spinsters” Across Downtown

The City of Frederick has announced a proposed filming schedule for the upcoming film “Spinsters,” with multiple downtown and park locations set to host scenes throughout May. Residents and visitors can expect to see film crews in action while city officials assure minimal disruption to normal activities. Temporary parking restrictions are expected at several sites to accommodate the production.

Filming will begin on May 1 at Taskers Chance Park off Key Parkway, followed by a full day of production downtown at 16-18 E. Patrick Street on May 2. Additional interior scenes will be filmed at the same Patrick Street address on May 5, 6, and 13. On May 7, crews will shift to 12 N. Market Street and the MARC Train station platform and outbuilding for a full day of shooting.

B-roll footage capturing scenic elements of Frederick will be filmed on May 21. Locations include sidewalks between North Bentz and North East Street, East 3rd to East South Street sidewalks, Carroll Creek Park path, and the Baker Park Bandshell. Another primary filming day is scheduled for May 16 at 28 East 6th Street, with work again taking place from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

While traffic flow will not be impeded by the filming, some metered and non-metered parking spaces will be temporarily unavailable along E. Patrick Street, N. Market Street, and E. 6th Street during specific days. The City has provided contact information for questions, directing inquiries to the film’s production company, the Frederick Police Department, and the City’s Department of Economic Development.
