πŸŽ₯ Clermont Goes Hollywood: A Movie Moment for Our Town

By Chef Sharon Michelle🌴πŸ₯₯ β€” Family Event Curator & Community Connector in Central Florida August 31, 2025

From February 16–20, 2026, downtown Clermont will transform into a 1960s small town for the filming of The Nearly Forgotten Incident—a suspenseful story filled with mystery, candy company conspiracies, and cinematic flair.

This isn’t just a film shoot—it’s a moment for our community to witness storytelling in action. Families may spot vintage cars, fog effects, and even simulated gunfire (all professionally supervised). Filming will take place overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM, bringing a touch of movie magic to our historic streets.

🍬 What’s the Story?

Set in a fictional town, the film follows a young girl investigating a series of disappearances linked to a local candy company. Think: eerie charm meets small-town suspense.

πŸ“Έ What Families Can Expect:

  • πŸš— Classic cars and retro vibes
  • 🌫️ Fog machines and special effects
  • 🎬 Late-night filming with safety protocols in place
  • πŸ§ƒ Local businesses may adjust hours—check ahead!

🧑 Why It Matters:
