Middlesex, Virginia

Middlesex is a coastal unincorporated community in Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, United States.[1]

"Middlesex, Virginia" is the name of the main city in the film Donnie Darko, which was shot entirely in California.[2] However, the fictional Middlesex is actually based on director Richard Kelly's hometown of Midlothian, Virginia, in Chesterfield County.[3]
