Okay
blog number one
Me and producer James have been searching for the location for our new sitcom, (enititled popcorn) for a while now with limited success!! We had the one in knutsford which wanted £11 per hour, which isnt bad, but we were looking at something that costs us nothing (hey, when you have no budget, you need to keep a close eye on the pennie), and the cinema in stockport, which were very enthusiastic about us filming there, and so where we, until they said it would be £100 per hour!! no wonder they were enthusiastic, sureley the bbc doesnt even pay that much (and if they do, no wonder all our licence fee goes so quick)
We also had cinemas in northwich and flixton, which look great from the outside, but completely unusable on the inside, (one is gutted and in a state of disrepair, the other has been converted into a dance studio)
anyway, they are just a couple of the bad news stories, but this is the good one. We came across the plaza in liverpool. Its a community cinema, run by volunteers, who do an amazing job, very friendly, nice people!! in others words, perfect!!
Me and james went along to have a look and it really is the perfect little independent cinema (take a look at the picture)
so we will start filming there next month, which will be amazing, and I will keep you posted on here. I'll also take a few more snaps to post on here as i go along
bye for now
