Good lessons from Reese on Producing
Check out this Hollywood Reporter article where Reese Witherspoon talks about how hard it was for her to 'keep her lights on' even after producing some major projects. It shows how tough the business is - but also how you can find success. It takes more than just great projects.

Location - WWII Era Army Barracks
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find a U.S. based WWII era Army barracks for a film I've written and will be producing? The actual setting is in Tennessee, but I can make a good location work if the buildings, or at least the facade is still standing, especially if it's in the American sout...
