This area is established for the purposes of filming contacts, schedules, and other information pertinent to Castleberry Hill residents and businesses as well as the filming and production companies. The Castleberry Hill neighborhood has been used numerous times for filming from TV to the big screen and everything in between. The classic look and charm of the neighborhood, the buildings that have been restored but retain their historic look and feel, the skyline views of the city, the convenience of being downtown, the trains, the art galleries, and of course plenty of people willing to open their homes and businesses all make Castleberry Hill very conducive to filming.
