The beautiful state of Missouri has actually been the setting of quite a few films.  Gone Girl, Winter’s Bone, and Paper Moon, just to name a few.  It’s not hard to believe it, with all the different types of geography, cities, small towns and large areas dedicated to the preservation of nature.  All of these beautiful photos could easily be the backdrop for a multitude of movie scenes.
