The Heineken USA office in White Plains was transformed into a film set on Saturday as “Bird People,” an independent French film, took over the space for filming.

Starring Josh Charles from “The Good Wife,” the movie follows the story of an American businessman who travels to Paris to leave behind his old life and start a new one abroad.

“Bird People” chose to film the scene at Heineken because of the office’s recent renovations. Darren Goldberg, the movie’s U.S. producer, said that the newly redesigned space “provided for an exquisite set with views that represent America in its best light.”

It's just the latest movie to film in Westchester County. Last month, the Tina Fey comedy “Admission” filmed at Value Drugs Family Center in Bronxville and Manhattanville College in Purchase.
