Obtaining locations is often one of the most costly aspects of film production, especially out here in Los Angeles. Everyone wants to squeeze as much money from you here as they can because filmmaking is so commonplace. That said, I need a really good location and have worked that cost into the budget as I can't risk losing the location. For something this size I need to be able to count on the location being available.

I think it was smart to buy the house. I wish I could afford one out here myself.
