Where was 'The Drop' filmed? Details on Hulu's dark comedy.

Hulu's The Drop was filmed in a small beachside the city in Mexico known as Sayulita — which is near the widespread vacation spot, Puerto Vallarta.

Director and author Sarah Adina Smith's husband, The Drop cinematographer Shaheen Seth, opened up about capturing on-location in an Instagram put up.

"I got to cross off 'shooting a film in crocs and shorts' from my bucket list. So super stoked about our film The Drop premiering at Tribeca this summer!" he captioned an April 2022 publish. "Shooting in Sayulita, Mexico was so dreamy and tropical. We got to wake up every day to the sound of the ocean and the chachalacas. I worried my 8-month pregnant wife/director was going to deliver our baby at any moment but that anxiety was offset by all the laughs and cry laughs from such an epic cast. I highly recommend making a comedy in the third trimester of a pregnancy."

In an interview with MetaCritic, director Sarah Adina Smith unfolded about filming in Mexico.

"It was crazy," she advised the outlet. "It's definitely insane to shoot that fast. Particularly, we were on a cliffside with 100-percent humidity and in COVID masks and hiking up and down. I won't lie, it was a difficult shoot, but I have to say that was why it was such a joy to be making a comedy in the midst of those difficult circumstances because then, once the camera was rolling, the laughter really helped make the rest of the typical day go more smoothly."

Though filming the movie sounds find it irresistible would be a total holiday, it wasn't totally paradise for the cast and crew.

"I think the cast likes to joke that I tricked them into doing this movie by telling me it was gonna be a vacation and then they ended up with diarrhea and IV drips and vitamin B shots and barely getting through it," the director stated. "We got so sick at one point, we would have to shoot scenes where we could only shoot one side of it because the other cast member was getting their IV or whatever."

Sarah defined that to make it work, she needed to take folks out of certain scenes simply to "accommodate everyone's current state of health."
