The credited-but-not-hosted side of the test returns this section's one famous film, and it is a negative of the purest form: 13: The Musical (Netflix, released 12 August 2022, directed by Tamra Davis, from the Jason Robert Brown stage musical) is set in Walkerton, Indiana — the film renames the stage show's Appleton for this town, and its story moves a New York boy to his grandmother's home in Walkerton, where the town, its school and its main street carry the picture. The cameras never came: the production record places principal photography in Ontario and New York — the community of Beeton, in Simcoe County, Ontario, stood in for downtown Walkerton, with further Ontario locations at Oakville, Brampton and King City, and New York City for the opening world. Walkerton's most famous screen appearance is therefore a portrait painted in Canada, and it prints as exactly that. The counter-claim prints whole beside it, unresolved: two secondary sources — the stage musical's reference entry and a filming-locations aggregator — list "Walkerton, Indiana" among the film's locations, the aggregator adding that "some parts were taped in Indiana"; no production account, film-office record, or press report reached in this run says what, if anything, was shot on this ground, and the claim stands at that strength, with its settlers named: the Film Indiana production record and the production's own notes. The hosted side of the test, run over the film-location record, the state film office's public materials and the press, returns no feature, television production, or commercial shoot seated in Walkerton, Indiana, in any record reached. What cameras demonstrably did work here were news cameras: in April 2015 the national press — the Associated Press and the networks behind it — descended on Memories Pizza at 608 Roosevelt Road for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act interview and the parlor's eight-day closure and reopening (the episode is this build's Controversies record; Food carries the shop). That is a news event that happened to be filmed, not a filming location, and the distinction is the test's whole point: as of November 2026, Walkerton, Indiana, has been a setting once and a location, on the record reached, never.
