Welcome to Paper Moon, Montana: The location where Netflix's Juanita movie was filmed

This independent film, inspired by Sheila Williams book Dancing on the Edge, tells the story of Juanita, a 'ghetto cliché', as she describes herself to the camera. One day Juanita decides to leave her pointless life back in Columbus (Ohio), to start over in somewhere else. To do so, she embarks on a Greyhound bus to Butte (Montana), the first place that she randomly picks off the map.

Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave, Desperate Housewives) stars the movie along with Blair Underwood playing himself (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Quantico), and Adam Beach (Suicide Squad, Arctic Air). The film is directed by Clark Johnson, who worked in series like The Wire or Alpha House.

Juanita is set in Ohio and Montana, but it was filmed in several locations around Virginia, including Petersburg, Bedford, Richmond and Waverly. In addition, the last scene was shot in California. Here are some of the most relevant filming locations of this Netflix movie:

If you are looking for the location of the lovely Chez Paper Moon French restaurant in Montana, you'll find it at 9058 Big Island Hwy, in Bedford. According to local newspaper Bedford Bulletin, the filmmakers rented the business, called the Millstone Tea Room, to shoot for a week.
