Wonder Woman 1984 is only the latest in a long line of movies that have ventured into the District of Columbia to capture the backdrop of monuments and neoclassical architecture. But the mega pic is relatively rare in that is uses locations in the Dmv — the moniker used to denote the greater metro area of the district and parts of Maryland and Virginia — so extensively. Rather, D.C. typically is used for establishing shots and much of the rest of principal photography is shot elsewhere.
What’s even more unusual is for D.C. to be used for projects that have little to do with politics or government, but have used the city and its surroundings for its sense of place.
There are hopes that it is changing.
D.C. reinstated a film production tax credit several years ago, and although it is not as generous as states like Georgia, it is not insignificant.

One of the funkier selections in the Sundance Film Festival’s Next <=> program is “Newlyweeds,” the filmmaking debut of writer-director Shaka King.

While the movie, which will have its premiere Jan. 18 at Prospector Square Theatre, is pitched as a comedy with a dramatic undercurrent (it does involve three veterans of “The Wire”), the filmmakers put together a Kickstarter video to raise finishing funds that goes straight for the laughs (and succeeds).
