INDEXSeeking Location for Police Station for Independent feature in April
1 year, 7 months ago - Jasun Horsley
I am producing a film this year in the UK, called The Light of Dead Stars, based on a script I wrote. I am currently seeking a London location that could double as a police station. Basically, either an office building or some public hall type building, with an entrance, reception, and corridor.
We would need it for more more than one day, maybe even half a day, and it could even be shot at night time. Our budget is minimal, basically out of my own pocket, & no one is getting paid, as it is a labor of love, so cannot pay much for use of location.
(We hope to shoot a 30-page "proof of concept" in early April, and use it to raise enough funds to shoot the full feature, later in the year.)
It would involve 3 or 4 actors, and a small crew of about 6 people.
Please let me know if you think of any locations that would work or anyone who might be of assistance

correction: no more than one day (there doesn't appear to be an edit option for these posts)

Local police stations seem to be open only during office hours these days, but I would think security precludes your 'borrowing' one.
On the upside, suburban banks are being closed at a rate of knots. Any vacant ones in the process of being leased could be available for you. While you might need to dress one a bit, or shoot tight, they'd provide the bulletproof glass setup to suggest what you need.
Hope this helps - and I love your Q&A responses as well as the sentiments expressed on your website.

thanks Barry; not sure which Q & A responses you mean, but presume the sentiments you refer to relate to my stance on Covid-dementia policies

Have a look at Kingswood house near Crystal Palace - we shot a short there about a year ago, it’s a great space with a tonne of different areas from municipal offices to Tudor bedrooms, quite a unique place and they are now actively promoting it as a filming and events location
