DRIVE IN - John LaBonney

Thanks everyone!

At the request of the person in charge of the location, Michelle today sent an email explaining about the movie and what will be involved. We're expecting a final decision about that location shortly. Once we have shooting dates set up we'll be sure to let you all know.
 
Hey John I am so looking forward to being a part of this let me know if you need a heavy set actor to play any of the parts...I just might know one.

We're waiting for a final word from the drive-in location, but it looks as if that word is going to be "no." While the company that owns the drive-in is film production friendly and has allowed numerous movies to be filmed on their location, it's also a family-friendly company, and the violence in the movie is a sticking-point. I appreciate their time in looking at our project and respect their decision, and right now it looks as if we'll have to find an empty piece of desert and bring along a few pieces of set with us.

Evan S has given me a couple of potential desert spots that we might use, so if one of them looks good I've got a construction guy that can fabricate a piece of set that we'll need. The other parts will have to be computer-generated imagery. This will make careful shot planning even more important.
 
Another Location for you

That sucks John, sorry to hear it. If you feel like coming out to California Bay Area
there is a vacant Drive In that is available to filmmakers.
Here's the details I know about.

Contact the San Mateo County Film Commission.

Good luck!

P.S. if you end up using this location I expect free greasy cold popcorn and a location scout credit ;-)
 
Hey John there is an abandoned drive in just about half way between us that we may be able to use. I will see if I can get the info to you ASAP.
 
Ok so I just found out that yes indeed the drive in is now closed and I in fact have a friend that is friends with the owner and I am trying to work it out. I will let you know this week. Heres to it working out...
