With Roxanne Boisvert at the helm, Lifetime’s ‘Sins of the Father’ is a thriller drama movie that revolves around a church organist named Mary who finds herself in a life-threatening situation. One seemingly normal day, as she stays behind to clean up the church after service, a kidnapper enters the church with a young woman as his captive. Finding herself in imminent danger, Mary clings to her faith but also uses her wits to get out of the danger, along with the young woman. Since the narrative touches upon the themes of faith and religion, the church, where most of the story unfolds, serves as an additional character that plays a pivotal role.
Sins of the Father Filming Locations
‘Sins of the Father’ was filmed in its entirety in Ontario, particularly in Ottawa. According to reports, principal photography for the drama film took place over the course of 12 shooting days, commencing on March 17, 2025, under the working title ‘The Devil You Know’ and wrapping up on April 1 of the same year. Although there were some hectic shoot days, the cast and crew members enjoyed their time working together on set and returned home with loads of good memories.
Ottawa, Ontario
For the purpose of taping the faith-based crime drama, the production team utilized the locales, amenities, and talents provided by the capital city of Canada — Ottawa. ‘Sins of the Father’ is set mostly inside a place of worship, so it is likely that the cast and crew members also set up camp inside an actual church in the city in order to make the narrative feel more grounded in reality. They temporarily installed the necessary lighting in the establishment so as to have more control over the production’s visual tone.
The filming unit also gathered on set to shoot several key portions overnight. Besides the church, the cast and crew also lensed pivotal outdoor sequences in other neighborhoods and areas of Ottawa. You might spot a few attractions and places of interest situated within the city in the establishing shots, including the Fairmont Château Laurier, Rideau Hall, and the Rideau Canal. Apart from ‘Sins of the Father,’ Ottawa has served as a prominent production location for a number of films. Some of the notable ones are ‘Bon Cop Bad Cop,’ ‘On the Count of Three,’ ‘Demons from Her Past,’ ‘True Justice: Family Ties,’ ‘A Lover’s Revenge,’ and ‘The Psycho She Met Online.’
