How to Choose the Right Film for Your Project

We didn't find the beach. We also needed a huge warehouse to put a sat-in, which was kind of amazing to find. Most people that see that seen Shawshank Redemption don't realize that's a set. I mean, that's how good it was. And so my job is because I was the location manager and production supervisor along with Sue D. Right. Not a month memory. My job was to be there for the building of the set before, you know, the crew got there. And then my job was for the dismantling of the set. That was a heartbreaking thing, but that's the way of the business. Yeah.

We

didn't find the beach. We also needed a huge warehouse to put a sat-in, which was kind of amazing to find.
Speaker 1
Yeah, it was Westinghouse. The company Westinghouse had that warehouse there where they manufactured, you know, appliances. And for some reason, they, well, I mean, you know, sometimes you talk about the film gods that bless you. Here's this new warehouse and Terry Marsh and Sebastian Melito, both of the deceased now, built this wonderful set. Yeah, that was one. Yeah.
Speaker 2
And it was. Most people that see that seen Shawshank Redemption don't realize that's a set. I know. I mean, that's how good it was. Yeah. And so my job is because I was the location manager and production supervisor along with Sue D.
Speaker 1
Right. Not a month memory. My job was to be there for the building of the set before, you know, the crew got there. And then my job was for the dismantling of the set. That was a heartbreaking thing, but that's the way of the business. Yeah. And so watching that and doing that. So anyway, we find choices and all those that have an opinion, you know, will pick which choices they want to go see and then we'll have scouts. And
Speaker 3
sorry, I have so many questions. So when you're choosing choices, though, are you trying to get it in a range? So you have one thing, like, if you're looking for a Victorian house, here's one, but here's one that's completely different than the other one. Or how are you trying to and how many choices are you trying to give? Well,
Speaker 1
you're trying to find exactly what those who are the director and the producer designer and the DP of the DP is on at that point, what they're asking for. But then most of the time you'll find stuff that's kind of out of the box and you'll put those in there too, because a lot of times people don't know really what they want until they see it.
