A movie producer contacted me this morning and asked me for some help. He said that he was working on inking a deal on filming a movie here in Kansas City. He didn't tell me what the film was about other than it was an action film ( my son recognized his box hit movies). He was asking for help on getting things started. First he needed a four bedroom apartment or home to lease for about 3 months to get things started in KC. Next, he needed to scout for an apartment complex for the crew to live in for at least 6 months and could be as long as 18 months. He said he would be in town to scout the area and wanted to view scenic and hot spots in KC. He is also looking at Austin, Little Rock and Louisville.
Currently he was in Europe in the middle of a project. He said he excited that the NCAA tournament was going on and he asked about the Kansas Jayhawks and if they will win it all this year. He said has never been to Lawrence but would like to one day. He asked how far Lawrence was from KC and when I told him it was a 20 minute drive from the suburbs he said that it would be really cool to get some scenes of the KU campus. Don't worry K-State and Missouri fans, we talked about those campuses also. If Kansas City is chosen he said that he'll start the end of the year.
Does anyone know of a large 4 bedroom home that can be leased in KC for 3 months starting in June? He needs it to send a crew to get things started. Internet accessibility is a must. It can be in Kansas or Missouri.
Does anyone know of a large apartment complex that can be used? It can also be in Kansas or Missouri.
What do you think is the most scenic place in KC?
What is the hottest spot in KC? Examples
Please respond to this blog post. He will be sent the responses weekly. He'll need access to construction crews, painters, transportation services, food vendors and everything else needed for a movie set and supporting a mini city. Who do you know that might be able to help when the time comes?
Oh yeah, how can I forget to mention. The movie producer said his production assistant found me on Google, then looked up my profile on Facebook.
Please review comments for ideas. The movie producer will view and it seems that the production assistants are responding to comments.
