Thanks a million to Mark Tournoff for doing a fantastic job of getting the main office for the film Automatic. The bulk of the film will be shot here. However there are other locations we’re still looking for. None of them should be too difficult. Mainly flats & houses but the closer we can come to the original “vision” (ooh Get me!) the better.
In short, I need a house with an old kitchen, an untidy living room, a garden and a conservatory. I need an ordinary flat, the duller the better, ideally in a block. I need a fancy board room and a corporate office. Oh yes, and an artist’s studio…..in Brighton this should not be a problem! Ah but here’s the rub, I want a petrol station shop or somewhere that will pass for one and I need a corporate style cafe.
I’m mainly looking in Brighton but anywhere close would be of interest. If you would like to see your home or office on the silver screen then please get in touch. A full list of the locations we’re scouting for is listed below.
Grandparents House

A suburban house / bungalow
An untidy living room. It can be a bit grubby but doesn’t have to be.

An artist`s studio / work room
A room used as an artist studio / work room. Ideally it would have paint and art everywhere and an old arm chair but we can organise that. A table with art stuff would be good.

A conservatory
A tatty conservatory with plants and gardening equipment. Nice to have trays of apples, watering cans etc.

A garden
A large or long garden with a flower border. Nice to have an old child’s swing and/or a shed. Anything that suggests this has been a family home for a long time but the kids have grown and gone.

An old fashioned kitchen
An old fashioned kitchen. Doesn’t have to be traditional, just the sort of kitchen that your grandparents have. It would be nice to have lots of clutter.
The Office

A board room / meeting room
A corporate looking meeting room with leather swivel chairs. The more expensive looking the better.

A corporate looking office
A modern private office. It doesn’t have to be as pleasant as this picture but ideally would have a desk / chair etc.
.

A cafe
A cafe which looks like it might be in a large corporate office. A counter holding biscuits and cake and staff selling coffee.
.
The Streets

A petrol station
Forecourt with pumps AND inside the shop. Or maybe a small shop which could pass as the inside of a petrol station shop.
Flats

An ordinary flat / apartment.
It would be great if it were in a block. Nice to have a big TV.
