The film was shot primarily on the real streets of New York City to match the story of two French-Canadian hustlers trying to make money selling Christmas trees. The filming uses winter light, busy sidewalks, and street corners to keep the comedy grounded and observational, with a strong sense of everyday urban traffic around the characters.

Filming Locations:

Intersection of Banker Street and Nassau Avenue

In the Movie

Scene where the characters are shown in Greenpoint, executing their Christmas tree selling scheme, using an ordinary Brooklyn corner to create the impression that they are working on the streets and interacting with the everyday pedestrian traffic of the neighborhood.

In Reality

This area represents a typical North Brooklyn block grid, offering authentic sidewalks, curbside parking, and practical street filming space, ideal for creating a natural urban atmosphere.
