The Company You Keep Filming Locations
The Company You Keep is primarily set along the East Coast. The majority of events unfold at this place. Milo’s character Charlie is the owner of a posh bar in Baltimore, Md. He and his family are engaged in the business. But they are also experts in conning others. Charlie is an exceptional con artist.
Charlie and his family leave no opportunity to con others. They strike a deal with a drug trafficker for the sale of an old warehouse. Then we see glimpses of Washington, DC. The family arrives there to fool a rich pastor and extract a good sum from him. But the shooting of the series didn’t occur on East Coast or in Washington.
The show depicts the family doing their dirty work in cities situated across the East Coast, specifically Baltimore and Washington D.C. But in reality, the movie was shot at a prominent city on the West Coast.
