This scene from “Masterminds” was shot in the old downtown area of Swannanoa.

Masterminds, the major motion picture filmed partly in Swannanoa in 2014, will hit theaters on September 30. The release was delayed several times while the production company worked its way through bankruptcy proceedings.

Masterminds is a comedy based on the true story of a 1997 armored vehicle heist in Charlotte, NC. The film stars Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig and Owen Wilson. Mark your calendars and be sure to catch our hometown on the silver screen!
