Potential Sets
March 04, 2018
So:
As much as I would like to go in detail about the story of my film, I want to save that content for a whole other post! I have a lot to say, so for now, I'll just reveal that the main setting is (or will be) a coffee shop. I want the atmosphere to be warm and cozy, with a sort of a rustic feel. I found the absolute perfect place to film a couple weeks ago, but after various emails back and forth, the managers of the coffee shop did not agree to let me shoot there. Turns out the coffee shop is part of a production company, and the location doubles as a production studio as well. They offered me the space for $85/hour, but with no props or furniture. On a high school budget, that really isn't possible for me. I've decided I'm going to look for another set this week, but unfortunately options in South Florida are quite limited. Still, I'll continue my hunt!
If I am unable to find another set I really love, I can always film at my local Starbucks.
These are some pictures of BREW Urban Cafe, the set I originally had in mind... This is the exact atmosphere I'm going for, and the space even opens up to railroad tracks that are still in constant use. My goal is to find something similar that won't cost me a fortune!!
Anyway, this week I plan on finding a set in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. It's more difficult to actually get in contact with the person in charge for permission, so I'm hoping that process has a smoother outcome! A lot more to come, so stay tuned.
