Romantic Movie Will Feature Eastern Market Metro Plaza

Posted January 7, 2023

Thursday morning found a local production company filming scenes for A Kismet Holiday, on Eastern Market Metro Plaza near the children’s’ playground. The holiday love story is based in DC and is a spinoff of the 2001 film Serendipity which starred John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

The film is the latest project of Octet Productions, owned by Executive Producer Chuck West and Creative Producer Bree West. According to Bree West the film portrays a couple who meet “in a series of serendipitous path-crossings, overcome obstacles, and experience some Christmas magic which works in their best interests.”

She added, “It’s important to showcase the beauty of our own city and to employ its residents. Washington is home to a lot of different things and destinations and this movie shows off the heart of the city. It’s a beautiful love story and you can feel the beauty and love on the set.”
