Great communication and the space is lovely. We had planned for sun but it was an overcast day and it was still absolutely stunning with all the natural light and incredible views. Liz was a treat to work with, very responsive and a great host. Highly recommend!

Los Angeles has never felt more Zen. Nestled in Topanga Canyon, this location seems as if it were carved from a sacred mountain. It's within the studio zone, yet it feels like a different country entirely. Brian was easy to communicate with, and his staff was both helpful and knowledgeable. While parking is limited, a nearby church lot is available for rent for cast and crew.

The view from the 19th floor offers exceptional production value that's hard to find at an affordable price. When securing your film permit, it's wise to purchase posted parking since this is an urban area. The site representative was knowledgeable and helpful. With two entry/exit points, load-in and load-out were expedited. Weekday shooting is limited because it's a working office, but we managed to work around this, given our budget constraints. I highly recommend this location for anyone seeking an office setting that enhances production value.

Christina was an absolutely fantastic host. We filmed a commercial at this house. Christina provided us with additional pictures of rooms we wanted to film before we booked. We made a last minute reservation and she was accommodating. This was a beautiful house and our clients loved the location. She was absolutely accommodating to us. Couldn’t thank her enough, can’t recommend this booking enough.

The space was exactly what we were looking for for our shoot. Misha was incredibly speedy with her responses and made sure that we had everything we needed and was very accommodating, friendly, and very clear with instructions on how to get into the building/parking. The only downside to the space was the AC wasn't working so it was quite warm especially as the day progressed.

Great space, smooth load in. Amanda needs to check the Giggster app for messages though. This is crucial.

Pros and Cons of Filming in Boston

Advantages

  • Pedestrian friendly

  • Beautiful city

New England is known for its natural and historic beauty. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing places to film in Boston at any time of the year.

Disadvantages

  • High cost of living

Being the largest populated city in New England, Boston’s rent and cost of living has gone up significantly and will continue to grow as the city evolves.

  • Roadwork is dreadful

This is a city that is always under construction. Plus, the roads were built to be windy, small, and as a result, end up being confusing to follow. It’s easy to get lost while driving and you’ll inevitably find a road closed off for repairs.

  • Home games = traffic

Bostonians love their Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox to the point of self-identity. So when it’s game time, expect every major road into the city and every street near these stadiums to be a complete mess.

  • Cold, wet, snowy

Slushy roads, wet shoes, Nor’easters. Boston is cold and nasty, weatherwise, during the chillier months. So bundle up when filming in Boston!
