Sometimes indie film development feels like trying to swim through tar. This past week has been no exception. Setting meetings, moving meetings, meetings get canceled, hopeful attachments delay or decline, while others pop up, and things get exciting again. It's never concrete until it is. So, while we ride the rollercoaster car up and down, I thought I'd write about something that really is made of concrete... literally. LOCATIONS!
We've been lucky on this film. Lots of free or flat fee locations have been made available to us, but are those the best locations? Will they work or will we have to work to make them work? That is TBD.
In our visual medium, locations play such a huge part in the story, so when you're working on a low budget, how do you still ensure you have the best possible locations for your film? That is what I'm focused on this week, and I'd love to hear from some of you. How do you secure the spaces you need and that are best for your film, commercial, music video, whatever, with limited budget/time/resources? Leave your comments below.

Production rollercoaster. Hey, Michael Fitzer. I like to use the unique things about locations and things in the locations to come up with scenes for my scripts.
