Filmed in Mendocino

Mendocino sparks creativity, from the rolling hills to the majestic redwoods to the stunning coastline. Small wonder that this remarkable region, with its dramatic vistas and breathtaking natural beauty, has been the backdrop for the work of generations of filmmakers, writers, and artists. East of Eden, The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!, Same Time, Next Year, The Uninvited, Summer of ’42, and many other award-winning films have incorporated Mendocino’s sweeping land and seascapes over the years.
