  • A wide circular drive in front of the main entrance.
  • The entry to the main entrance must be spacious and tall – about 2 stories.
  • A fountain in the middle of the circular drive is a plus.
  • Multi-story condo building.
  • Preferably a 1970s-style architecture. 

The entry way will be crucial to the scene.  It would easily accommodate the actors and a car without cramping. 

The example in the photo is perfect, but building owners and manager are asking an amount that greatly exceeds the budget. The production will pay a location fee and insurance, but the budget is indie-film sized.     

This location will be used for one day. It’s a foreign film that needs establishing shots of a Florida beach  retirement community. My office has been working with this project for eight years.  Although we are only getting a tiny part of the project, it’s a wonderful story that will warm the hearts of viewers.
