In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment‘s senior correspondent Kevin Polowy upon the release of “Nightmare Alley” when asked “What makes Buffalo your new favorite city to film in?” award winning director Guillermo del Toro said this:
“First of all, the life in Buffalo is fantastic in terms of the cultural scene. The food scene is fantastic. Two things that are very important for me,” del Toro says. “You cannot find a better film office in the world. And it’s basically a sampler of every style of architecture in the 20th century. You want to set it in the 1900s, the 1800s even… You want [art] deco. You want classical architecture from 1940. You get everything. It’s effortless to make a period picture there.”
