Studios...Studios..We might be surrounded by more!

I know the ecconomy right now is in an all time LOW.. But we must say we are fortunate as to what is happening in our industry here in Mass. First of all Plymouth Rock Studios is just amazing, a first for the industry, and most importantly will bring aprox. 2000 jobs into the state. Second...Weymouth.. this has been quiet as of late but I truly believe that this will be a green light in the near future and if it does get it...stand back NY! There is also rumor about Stoneham and othe possible locations in MA for "mini studios" which is also so another bright spot. So with that being said lets start looking towards the future because the light at the end of this tunnel is going to be very bright.

I've worked in the industry as a Location Manager here in Boston. Not to dispoint, But my honest opinion is that the big Studios that are proposed will not happen. Plymouth is the largest. But unfortunately what most people don't understand is that it's 40 min's to the studio (proposed) from Boston on a good day. Call it an hour for the trucks to get there. Imagine this during rush hour and on a Friday during cape cod traffic. Producers will not want to pay for that travel time. And trust me it adds up greatly during a production. Additionally the latest problems with the economy have lead me to believe that it's not a good investment.

I want it like the rest of us but it just doesn't make sense. The good news is that there is another studio proposed for Southie. But it's a few years away.

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Are future films in jeporady because of looming strike?

That is a question really no one knows and is asked quite often. If there is a strike and it does last as long as the writers strike does, that will be a problem. But let's hope everything gets resolved by next month so the ongoing traffic of movies continues here in our very cool state. strike,

Portions of the SAG strike my be resolved sooner than later.

What I have heard as of late is that the upcoming strike might not be as long as some people are projecting. Certain aspects have already been cleared. So, with that being said it might no be as long as a process as the previuos writers strike. I think that strike did so much damage that SAG probably does not want to go down that road but we will see.
