checklist is oh so NOT complete

Actors - check
Dir of photog - check
Costumes - check
Script - check
Location - lost it TODAY!

Here's the deal. The "D" scene is from the movie "Defending Your Life" and it takes place in the after life. Basically the location is the pitstop between death and moving forward to the next phase or back to earth to try again. This means that any location for this movie needs to be beautiful, pleasant, 74 degrees and sunny all the time. Obviously, this let's out all outdoor spots in the state of Ohio at this time of year. In the movie they were always doing fun activities like putt putt, the comedy club, or walking in beautiful surroundings. The location we had was an amazing indoor putt putt course but it fell through today, the day before the actual shoot.

Getting Devon and Jeff to be available on the same day is not easy. They are both talented and therefore are in high demand. So we must forge ahead with tomorrows shoot but we need a location desperately.

A few calls are out to some art galleries. They key is to have connections with whatever business owner we would have to approach at this last minute. If you have any ideas that involve an actual location you know you can get, please let me know. I can't get behind schedule when its so tight already.
