where was the movie sinners filmed

The movie Sinners (2025, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan) is set in Clarksdale, Mississippi, but it was filmed in Louisiana , primarily within a roughly 50‑mile radius of New Orleans.

Main filming locations

Here are the key places where Sinners was shot:

• New Orleans, Louisiana (general production base and various city scenes).

• Donaldsonville, Louisiana – its historic downtown (especially the Railroad Avenue block) doubles for 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi.

• Laurel Valley Plantation in Thibodaux, Louisiana – used for plantation and church scenes set in the Mississippi Delta.

• Braithwaite, Louisiana – the former Hidden Oaks Golf Course was adapted into the sawmill and juke joint area, central to the film.

• Labadieville, Louisiana – rural backdrops that create the isolated, eerie atmosphere for several sequences.

• Bogalusa, Louisiana – listed among the official filming locations.

In short: although the story takes place in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, Sinners was actually filmed across several towns and rural sites in southern Louisiana, clustered around the New Orleans region.
