This location features in the trailer for 2008's Volkonir short film. Recording was done quickly, as temperatures were bitter cold enough to endanger the camera's internal motor, which would have destroyed the tape.

At some point in his adventures of trying to get to Big Rapids, Prince Volkonir, now in the form of an enchanted stuffed toy, got as far as the parking lot of Big Lots. His efforts to get to the Granger building were thwarted, however, and he later found himself being transported to the Grand Ledge area. He tried from there to recruit Katie Averes to help him get to the Granger building. But she refused, even going so far as to throw him out of her bedroom window.

He later finds another way back to Big Rapids, and then attempts to recruit Dereck Tumbline to get him in. But due to some schedule conflicts, Dereck is unable to take Volkonir to Granger. Instead, he is saved by Cassie Helm - with Gwirdon Treaders hot on their tail!
