We are currently scouring the Grand Rapids area for some very particular locations for an upcoming movie (the title and details are being withheld)--and you can help! If you happen to know of a place in Grand Rapids--or within 30 minutes of driving from Grand Rapids--that seems to match one of the following descriptions, let us know. The location you suggest might just make it into the next big feature film of Michigan...
A remote location—that can be perceived as threatening and dangerous—characterized by wreckage, abandonment, or deterioration. It needs to be easily identifiable in daylight or darkness by some kind of structure or background site: an old factory, a rundown warehouse, an abandoned junkyard, dilapidated grain silos, a gravel pit, railroad tracks, a dam, etc.
An apartment complex (built post 1940's) featured on the road front, nestled between other buildings or complexes, and containing a minimum of 6 units.
A modest-sized office building (six stories max), built of modern materials (can be “brick or glass and steel”)--also on the road front. The location manager is asking for a complex with access to a roof level, with a relatively spacious stairwell—preferably open to sunlight.
A new, large house—built without a sense of historical architectural style or taste. It can either be imposing its presence amid smaller houses, or be separated by an indulgently large lot. (The kind of house that surrounding home owners find obnoxious.)
A high school surrounded by countryside. Built with all brick--no metal; the older the better.
Finally, we need clubs or bars with high ceilings (10 feet +) possessing unique character, with a parking lot (preferably separated form the street front—shielded or isolated in any way).
If you know of a location that sounds like a good match, feel free to comment on this blog or email Rick Hert at rick@wmta.org.
