Ojai is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 4 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“Much of the filming was done on the Griffith Ranch in San Fernando Valley, with the Petersburg scenes being shot at what is today Forest Lawn Memorial Park and other scenes being shot in Whittier and Ojai Valley.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Ojai as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • The Birth of a Nation 1915
  • Easy A 2010
    “The entire film was shot in Ojai, California in the summer of 2009, using Panavision's Genesis and later filmized.” Wikipedia
  • Lost Horizon 1937
    “Many exteriors were filmed on location in Palm Springs, Lucerne Valley, the Ojai Valley, the Mojave Desert, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and in what is now Westlake Village, adding the cost of transporting cast, crew, and equipment to the swelling budget.” Wikipedia
  • Smokey and the Bandit 1977
    “However, the scene where they drive through the Shell gas station was filmed in Ojai, California, on the corner of Ojai Avenue and El Paseo Road.” Wikipedia

Named here by Ojai’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ojai, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
