Location Needed for Feature Film

Location Needed for Feature Film
(This must be in Nassau County)

A feature film is searching for a location for April/May -- attached cast already includes Katie Holmes, Dianne Wiest, Michael Gambon, Mark Rylance, with another 4-5 name actors in stages of offer right now, to be secured in the next couple weeks.

While they did find a perfect setting on Lake Waramaug in Connecticut, they are very much hoping to keep the film in New York!

Per the script, here is some useful information about the property requirements from the producer:

"- Our film is set in 1984. It is the weekend LAKESIDE home of celebrated actress, who travels there for Memorial Day weekend.
- The estate is managed by a caretaker and his wife, who live in a smaller house on the property.
- There is a barn and an outhouse.
- The house needs to have at least 4 bedrooms, preferably more.
- There is a veranda.
- One of the upstairs bathrooms oversees the lake.
Might you have any ideas? I would also love to find a house with character. The type I refer to is in the living room you can view by clicking "interiors" of this house, http://www.comfort-island.com - as it would fit the artistic character of the owner.
We are beginning to look at locations next week, so anything you can think of sending that is ready to view in person, please send on!"

If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and reference Gluadini lakehouse.
The photos are snapshots from the lakehouse on Lake Waramaug.

Thank you.

Locations Needed for Movies/TV!!

Hello All, (These must be in Nassau County)
1) For a Chapstick, commercial - July 19, 20 or 21. From the scout: They're loving the south shore beaches, but they don't like the large scale fishing piers I'm showing them. They're asking for a smaller, more rustic, dock, like in the layout I've attached. Do you know any people who might have a small dock behind their house, who would entertain a photo shoot for 6 hours? Or maybe a private boat club with a little dock?
If you have any referrals, please refer to "Chaptick Hutch"
2) Looking for abandoned buildings for a short film, "5th & Lexington." Mid August. Please refer to "Fifth & Lexington"
3) For small audio visual project for an artist, needs a body of water with no waves, and where you cannot see land when you look up from it. Probably North Shore, but can't be terribly expensive. Please refer to "Spence." 2nd week in August
4) TV series Pam Am is looking for an Italian Villa. July 21 - 22. Please refer to "Pan Am."
5) For a TJ Max Commercial - needs a store that would point to a street or to a courtyard. Could be an empty car dealership. Needs natural light. Needs to be big enough to be a TJ Max store. Please refer to "TJ Maxx Staudt" Juuly 20 - 22.

Nassau County Film Office Director Debra Markowitz and Steve Buscemi of Boardwalk Empire at the first awards ceremony of the Long Island International Film Expo (LIIFE) circa 1998

Hello All, (These must be in Nassau County)
I hope you are enjoying this holiday season and that all is well.
I am working on Boardwalk Empire, and they are scouting for 1920's locations or ones that can be dressed as such. They are interested in seeing warehouses, homes (in period neighborhoods or stand alone), restaurants/bars, ballrooms, etc.
Please let me know whatever you may have available in the Nassau County area. Photos would be helpful. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and reference this job.
Also, we are having our location and studio tour from December 14 - 15 and bringing location managers and producers to many of our sites here in Nassau County. We're looking for items for the goodie bags. I'm thinking usuable items from businesses/locations in Nassau County. We'd need 25 - 30 of them. If you have anything good, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention.
Best,
Debbie

Location Needed AND Filmmakers Connection Meeting

Location Needed (Must be in Nassau County)

For a Honda commercial – they’re looking for a countryside road (which they may be able to do at a local college) that leads to a working class area. Upper middle class – must be able to see other houses around it. The catch here – this is a late night shoot – but it has a healthy budget. In other words, they don’t have a problem working with the neighbors, but would rather not have to pay them all as they feel they can probably do this easier in other areas – but I’d really like to see the money spent in Nassau County. They will need to park some trucks on the street – but this is only a 40 person shoot – not a huge one. Any villages/cities/towns up for the challenge?

If you have any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com. Please reference: Honda commercial.

Also – anyone interested in attending the Filmmakers Connection networking meetings, there will be one on Monday (YES – MONDAY), October 18 at 7:00 pm in room 303 at Five Towns College in Dix Hills. The speaker it tba.

Thank you!

Locations Needed for Film/TV and Internships Available

LI Newstonight NYIT’s LI News Tonight is signing up interns for the Fall 2010 semester. If you or someone you know is interested in breaking into the television news industry, contact NYIT’s LI News Tonight at linewstonight@nyit.edu or 516 686-7952 to learn how we can put you on the air.

Interns/volunteers needed for the Nassau County Film Office. Hours of operation – Monday – Friday 9:00 am – 4:45 pm. Non-paying. Must be good on phone, computer literate, able to put in 2 – 3 days per week in Mineola office.

HBO's television movie, "Too Big Too Fail," needs two very large center hall colonials - one for three days and one for approximately a week. Still casting. Dates unspecified.

Feature film, "Arthur," needs a very large, green field over which to film two helicopters - one helicopter is filming the other. They will not be landing, and the only thing on the ground will be work lights, perhaps half a dozen, to light the ground.

Low-budget feature film, "Silent House," needs an isolated home they can board up for two months and take over. They prefer it vacant and by woods. They only have about $25,000 for the two months, but if you know of anyone at a bank that handle foreclosures, that could work. Or a family that is facing foreclosure and can stay somewhere for a couple of months - this could help them save their home. This is only a 30 person cast/crew situation, with a professional location manager who will respect the property.

For an Audi commercial - they need roads in Nassau County to show the scenic route. They will be doing area shots of the car driving. Must be in a film-friendly area.
