<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">We've had two movie production crews here this summer. They were both great to work with. We've learned two things - (1) they will ask for more and more space, artifacts, and time as they settle into production (2) they keep their word about putting things back the way they found them. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Depending on how long the pre-production, production and post-production is, the amount of parking they will require can be daunting. We had 85 personal vehicles plus 20+ support vehicles such as food trucks, washrooms, electrical service, production, sound, set decoration for 10 days.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Our School House was emptied and everything was stored in large trucks during production. They painted, removed curtains, removed artifacts, etc. Everything was returned to the same place, repainted the original colour, etc. during post-production clean-up. A window was broken and they fixed it without question.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Overall, it was a great experience and a cash windfall. The location scout told us what to charge and there was never a problem with payment.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I have heard that you should get at least some funds up front to protect your revenue but that depends on the production company's reputation.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Darlene</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Aug 21, 2024 at 10:01 AM Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv <<a href="mailto:listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca">listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2124183851342341734">
