Locations Needed for Film and Commercials

These must be in Nassau County

For a David Chase project - set in suburban New Jersey in the 1960's. They want towns and villages that haven't been overly modernized. The houses would play as homes to middle to upper-middle class families. Town/Village must be film-friendly and not have very high permit fees.
The film is currently entitled "The Twylight Zones" and is about a group of kids looking for fame and fortune in the 1960s New York City rock and roll scene.  Nice script, lots of great music. They're planning to shoot January into early April.  The biggest star attached so far is Steve Van Zandt who played Silvio in the Sopranos (and lead guitar in the E-Street band of course).  The kids cast so far are largely unkown actors.
Any suggestions, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and reference the job name.

Working on a very big Lotto job for late November, Early December. They need a main street with small streets - now here's the catch. They need to blow the store windows out of about 10 stores! This is a big job, and very well funded. They will pay the store owners very well, and hire the necessary pyrotechnic people, fire people, police, etc. They can do this at night.
If your town has the look, and the store ownes could use the income - please e-mail suggestions to debfilm@aol.com and reference the job.

Location Needed for Jim Carrey film (and still shoot)

Locations Needed for Feature Film (and Still Shoot) – (Must be in Nassau County)

For feature film, “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” (starring Jim Carrey), they need a very old style classroom to shoot for one day in November. Think young Indiana Jones style classroom. Wood trim. Interesting decor. No white boxes. We need to shoot it during the day. The character is supposed to be around 10 years old. Any place you can think of would be very helpful.

For a still photography shoot for Joseph Liebman Photography they need an exterior nature preserve. This is a very small shoot- only 6 people, still camera equipment and not a lot of money. Do you have any places in your areas that do not charge a large permit, administrative or use fee?

If you have any suggestions for these areas, please e-mail debfilm@aol.com and reference the job name.

Thank you!
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!

Debbie
