ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a short film in collaboration with the Roundhouse in London, and we're looking to shoot for one day on a moving London bus. The issue is, our budget for the location is only £600, and the quotes we have received from companies associated with TFL have all come in at over £1000, so I wanted to see if anyone knows of anywhere else we could look to hire a bus and driver for 12 hours for £600 or less - we're thinking maybe events companies, privately owned buses, any other small bus companies, etc.

We'll only be shooting the interior, so it doesn't have to look like a London bus on the outside, just needs to be believable inside. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative ways we could hire a bus that comes within our budget, or know anywhere that might be able to offer us a good deal on bus hire? The aim of the film is to open up conversations about self-censorship and fear within queer communities, so if there are any companies or individuals that want to showcase their support of the community and help facilitate these important conversations and might be able to help us in regards to this, it would be really useful to know!

Thanks for any help!
