So I had a location fall through last minute. I have a whole classroom of free extras for a 6th grade class, but nowhere to film the scene and it's happening this Saturday (in 3 days)
Every public school in Los Angeles won't allow us to film, even for 2 hours, without going through FilmLa, which means I'll need insurance and permits, etc.
Does anyone know, at the end of the day, how much this location will cost me doing it the legit way? It's a short film and shouldn't fall under the "commercial film" category since we're not making money on it.
Other options I've considered, but haven't had any luck are: Private schools, churches, just finding a blank room to dress up. The main problem is we need desks and a big whiteboard in the room.
Any advice would be appreciated!
