Thornbury Theatre











Went to the Thornbury Theatre for a sit down meeting with the the guy who runs it; Eugene. It went pretty well , he was a really nice guy who was totally supportive of student films; he's even letting me shoot for the whole day for free. Mental! So as you can imagine i'm pretty happy securing the location as it's a pretty amazing place, the only thing that bothers me is that it doesn't really match up to the prestige of the hotel i imagined in the script. But i can work around that. The location's good enough to make a few concessions. I'll change a couple of lines of dialogue and set the film in the early 90's to give the impression that the hotel is experimenting with a bit of exotica in their decor at the time. Don't worry it'll work....hopefully.

So i'm looking at locations for the scene in the film where Dave goes to the lobby of a hotel inquiring about a job as a lounge singer.
The place i have in mind is the Thornbury Theatre. It has a great charm with its dated decor. I think it this highlights Dave's plight in being cultural displaced.
