1. A method for determining whether one or more events depicted in media coincide with a geographic location, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a wireless device to identify a geographic location of one or more events depicted in a motion picture media, said request comprising geographic location information describing the location of the wireless device;
determining if the geographic location of one or more events depicted in the form of media is within a geographic radius of the geographic location of the wireless device by consulting one or more databases;
presenting a set of one or more events depicted in the form of media, a distance said one or more events depicted in the motion picture is from the wireless device, and the name of the motion picture media, said one or more events located within a geographic radius of the wireless device; and
presenting a visual depiction of the geographic location associated with the one or more events depicted in the media, wherein the visual depiction includes the geographic location of the wireless device.

Abstract
A method, system, and medium are provided for determining the geographic location associated with events depicted in media. The geographic locations can be provided by creators of the media, or by users who view the media. The geographic locations can then be stored in a database on a server. A determination can be made as to whether the geographic locations are within a predefined distance of the geographic location of a wireless device. A set of events located within the predefined distance can be presented to a user of the wireless device.
