‘A Land Remembered’ won’t film on Fort DeSoto Beach
April 15, 2026 - The producers of the prospective TV series A Land Remembered have decided not to attempt shooting scenes at Fort DeSoto Park. "We're not going to pursue a permit to film at Fort DeSoto," production representative Clay Hollis told the Catalyst Wednesday in a prepared statement. "At every stage in production, we're committed to work with stakeholders to protect the natural environment while we bring this incredible Florida story to life." Environmental activists had taken issue with the company's early plans to bring heavy equipment, livestock and actors to the park's fragile east beach in May.
