While working in the office of
Spitalfields City Farm the other day, I overheard a cameraman (yes, quite a few come to the farm; in fact, the other week a whole film crew came to shoot a scene for
Whitechapel. . .go figure) on the telephone mention
The Shawshank Redemption. I have no idea what the mention was in reference to but it took a tremendous amount of energy on my part to not pipe up with 'Hey, that film was shot in locations near my hometown!!'. So I'm now sharing this information with those out there that may actually give a damn (well, who knows, maybe that guy would have too).
Weird Coincidence: The '
Shawshank Tree' (see above photo) where Andy leaves buried money for Red is actually a tree across the road from
Malabar Farm State Park but is meant to be in Buxton, Maine in the film. What's the address of Spitalfields City Farm?!?!? Yep, Buxton Street. Could this be a connection to that cameraman's discussion on the phone?
