Palo Alto is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 8 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. 1 video game is also set here.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside Palo Alto rather than at Palo Alto itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Palo Alto 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.
Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Palo Alto
1 production shot at 1 place inside Palo Alto, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Palo Alto itself.
- The Wedding Planner Stanford University per Wikipedia 2001
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Drawn from this place
Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Palo Alto as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
