Locations - Part 2

I have found a few other posible locations but am still leaning towards Bodi, California for the deserty look to the landscape. A big issue with choosing locations is how it fits the story. A lot of the decision is being made on landscape and on town layout or structure.

Another big thing I am looking for is the structure of the buildings.
A typical hollywood backlot location would look too perfect. For this particular script, it is best if the buildings are a bit worn out to give the impression things have been unkept for a few years.

Starting in the next few weeks I will be making trips to many of the locations to see how it will work for the story. Another big issue with this particular production is the price of lodging. I have to take into account how far the closest town is, if I know someone that is close enough to donate lodging to the production and how much it will cost to get everyone there.

Things still seem to be leaning towards Bodi, CA. With the way the current rewrite is going it will fit the script the best because all the locations are right there in the town. Either way, it is going to take some creativity to get cast and the very few crew I will have there.

Camera tests will begin shortly as well as fundraising and attachments.
