Location Scouting (November 2019):

 Woodbury University students inquired about filming on several roads in Riverside.  Short Film looking for upscale office in Riverside, suggested the Workforce building.  Sag Feature looking for a mental health facility to film at for 2.5 weeks. Suggested the County Behavioral Health Building on Rustin Ave. in Riverside.

Special Events/Sponsorships:

The American Film Market (AFM) takes place over 8 days at the Lowes Hotel in Santa Monica Nov 6 – 13 th , 2019). This is a market to connect both productions looking to sell a film and also the companies that are looking to acquire content. Interestingly, these filmmakers also always have another project (or 10) they are working on, hence, exhibiting at this event yields many location requests in Riverside County once they learn how close we are to the L.A. area and how much service we can offer. Multiple productions have already called for assistance and come to Riverside to scout their desired locations.
