Prop Shopping & Location scouting

The cool thing about indie filmmaking is that most of the time you end up doing everything yourself. Well, it can be cool to a point. But one of the parts I find as awesome is definitely shopping around for props. It can be disappointing when you don't find anything but so rewarding when you do. Especially for a movie like "Zombie Rest Home", I love vintage things and what better way to shop around for old things than for a movie about senior citizens :)

Also, our location fell through a couple of days ago (what is it with Austin and wanting to get paid for everything?) so our search for a new location has commenced in full force. Went to an actual retirement community on reference by a crew member. Man the place was beautiful and they were all for it... but the place we too beautiful. Gorgeous siding, high ceilings, and carpet... damn you carpet. Statefield Rest Home is supposed to be clinical and not cozy. This place was the Might come back to Austin on Monday to look around some more.
