The film was shot primarily in New York City, using real streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, parks and intersections to ground the story in everyday urban routines. The production relies on recognizable neighborhoods, showing how commute routes, sidewalk jogs, and public spaces shape the character's attempt to regain health and confidence. Several sequences were filmed in active city environments rather than controlled sets, emphasizing authentic crowds, traffic patterns, and the city's pace, supporting a contemporary character-driven comedy.

Filming Locations:

Brittany's Apartment

In the Movie

Scene where the neighborhood life outside Brittany's home pulses, sidewalks and storefronts help show her daily routine and the atmosphere of her home block before and during training.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in a mixed-use area on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn's Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, lined with low- to mid-rise buildings and constant pedestrian traffic. The stretch between Clermont and Vanderbilt creates a typical New York residential and commercial corridor that looks lived-in and authentic on camera.

Williamsburg Intersection

In the Movie

Scene where street moments occur amid the denser texture of the neighborhood, conveying the feeling of navigating real New York sidewalks during training, with room for camera tracking and natural energy from passersby.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the intersection of Roebling Street and North 4th Street in Williamsburg, a dense grid of residential buildings, small businesses, and heavy foot traffic. The intersection offers a contemporary Brooklyn look with narrow streets, frequent deliveries, and a visually rich backdrop that enhances the pace and unpredictability of urban running routes.

Brooklyn Intersection

In the Movie

Scene where dynamic street shots are captured with a clear intersection layout, the camera follows the action at sidewalk level with natural city sounds, crossing timing, and a realistic Brooklyn backdrop.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the intersection of Clermont Avenue and Park Avenue in Brooklyn, near Fort Greene, a wide active junction with long straightaways, curb parking, and steady traffic. The geometry is typical New York, ideal for filming running and movement due to its depth, crosswalk markings, and recognizable brownstone landscape.

Domino Park

In the Movie

Scene where training and walking or running moments use open linear paths and water views, contrasting with narrow residential streets, giving the character space to move while maintaining a vibrant New York feel.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a public park on the East River waterfront in Williamsburg, built on the site of the former Domino Sugar factory, known for river views, elevated walkways, and long pedestrian paths. The address at 300 Kent Avenue places it against the modern city skyline, perfect for recognizable outdoor exercise scenes.

Columbus Circle / Central Park West

In the Movie

Scene where vibrant Manhattan street action underscores the city's scale and the marathon-related ambitions, using the recognizable circle and park edge to place the character on a large public stage.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at Columbus Circle at Central Park West, a major Manhattan landmark at the southwest corner of Central Park, surrounded by busy roads, subway, and constant foot traffic. The circular plaza, prominent monuments, and proximity to the park make the location instantly recognizable for sweeping big-city shots.
