Ben Kutchins was the film's cinematographer.[6] Filming began on December 6, 2021. A house on 47 Statler Road in Belmont, Massachusetts, stood in for the home of reporter Loretta McLaughlin. Filming took place inside the house between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.[7][8][9] That same day, the Winn Brook Elementary School was transformed into the Cambridge Police Department for second unit filming. The school was paid $5,000 to be in the film and was used between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. (EST).[7][8][10] A tent was set up on school property to take breaks.[8] Several private driveways on Statler and Waterhouse Roads were rented to park 1960s vehicles. The Claflin Street parking lot in Belmont Center was also rented for the crew's personal vehicles.[7] For the next two days, filming took place in the South End; scenes were shot on Dwight Street between Tremont Street and Shawmut Avenue.[8] On December 9, the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology was temporarily turned into a police headquarters for the shoot.[11][12] Between January 26 and January 27, 2022, the former Josephine M.
