Burbank, California is significant to Sherlock Holmes (2009) because Wigram Productions is located there. Wigram Productions helped produce Sherlock Holmes (2009) and founder Lionel Wigram helped author the story with Guy Ritchie for Sherlock Holmes (2009). I found this information from an academic article reviewing an interview with Lionel Wigram on his involvement in the making of Sherlock Holmes (2009) as well as his tales and knowledge of the stories. This source is an example of peer mentorship because the publication of this interview allows Lionel Wigram, who is a fan of Sherlock Holmes, to share his knowledge and understanding of the novels and how he translated it into Sherlock Holmes (2009). Mapping this location on COVE adds a grassroots layer to a story usually told top-down. Usually only the director gets credit for writing and story and specifically for novel adaptations, helping the stories take a life of their own while staying true to the books themselves. However, mapping this location helps show others the influence that multiple people and locations had on how this adaption of Sherlock Holmes came to be.
