Problem: Student films are always set in dorms.
How can you help filmmakers find better locations for their videos?
Solution: Develop a network of set seekers and owners.
This solution would require some definite planning. The idea would be to develop a web page (or other many-to-many vehicle) that could allow directors of all talents access to normally private areas. Local companies and businesses would offer there ‘set’ for a proper incentive (hopefully just a large area of the credits, or use of there products in the film). Ideally, there would be a rather large selection of parking lots, business locations, farms and structures for students to use. Owners of the space could post available time slots for film-making and then directors could select a time and be given the owners contact information. Obviously there are some possible dangers to this, so precautions would have to be made to ensure the safety of everyone involved as well as the preservation of the property being used.
