I’ve wanted to write this for a while. I’m not sure if it’s overlooked in a lot of indie productions, or if there is just limited access to emotive locations without having some money.
Notice I said emotive. There are good locations, and there are emotive locations. For me, choosing the right locations is as important as casting the right actors for the lead roles. A location says an awful lot more than most give credit for… it is a character in it’s own right and surrounds everything else that you put into it.
Here’s some of mine over the past two films.
