The House Film Production (Location Scouting) Part I

The Location Scouting/Visit to Greenville, Maine... A large part of our reason for going to Greenville was that we wanted to talk to key individuals in the town about our interest in shooting the film there. This was a rare opportunity for a town because I had decided that I would re-write the entire script of The House and set it in a town in Maine that exemplified what Maine was all about, but I wanted it to be a town that most people had never heard of before and had a lot of character to it to make it stand out to the audience. By re-writing the script around a town, we would write in businesses and locations that would benefit from the exposure. Also the town as a whole would benefit because the world would hear about it more and want to visit the area. Our hope is that by producing this film in Maine and allowing the Maine way of life to come through the story it would help to draw more business to the state, especially in film and other aspects of the arts to create a creative economy that would help the state to grow and offer better jobs to the next generation

Below are just a few of the stills taken from the videos I recorded of Greenville.

The boats in Greenville on Moosehead Lake:

The Katahdin Steamboat: Antique steamboat from the 19th century and was rebuilt and donated to the museum by one of the local citizens. Many people take tours on the boat during the summer season around the lake.
