The movie takes place in Oregon just before Christmas. It's almost whole shot inside. However, there are few scenes shot in the downtown which reveal that the movie was shot actually in autumn, and production used artificial snow to hide it. In those few wide shots you can see light green, yellow, and brown leaves on deciduous trees, and some of them are sprayed with artificial snow, and some are not. Almost all deciduous trees are completely bare in the mid of December especially in the harsh continental climate like is in the US northwest.
