Was it filmed in Paterson?

If it wasn't for Paterson where would all the Heroin addicts who live in the outlying suburbs go to get their fix??

Thank you for your ignorance of a city you probably don't live in. All Patersonians are not "God Awful". Some of us actually work and are law abiding. Before you speak of us again SHUT YOUR F*&%ING MOUTH, ASSHAT!!!

"No, really. That's very interesting. -_- Please go on."

I just saw the film. I don't know Paterson but it certainly looked like it was filmed there. There are numerous scenes of the driving bus 29 down a major street (with Rent-a-center and other store fronts visible). He also visits the water/fall a few times.

As a result of this film the city had better get ready for some poet tourists.

In "Filming Locations," Paterson is listed as the one and only.

I work in the garage they filmed the movie in. The bus in the movie was going up and down Market St. I'm a bus driver out of that garage and I've never seen so many white people like they show in the movie before in Paterson. The garage is locatec at 16 market st in paterson.

At American Film Festival which takes place in Wroclaw, Poland, after the screening of "Paterson" we had a meeting with Joshua Astrachan, who is a producer of this film. He stayed after for a few questions and one of them was about locations. He said they shot for six days only in Paterson, but most of the film was made outside of it, because of the tax issue. As it was an indie production, it was cheaper for them to do so. The streets are real, the waterfall is real, bus depot as it was mentioned already in this topic and few other things. But like he said, most of the film wasn't shot in Paterson.

If you scrolled down to post this comment then you scrolled right past it.. It says clearly filming locations. Patterson

It was filmed in Paterson, and didn't shy away from depicting the uglier side of the city.
