I was looking through videos online on Ohio. That is a great state. Fantastic hideaways. Great places to disappear where the law doesn't give a FLYING FUCK as to what you're doing. I use to take a camcorder with my friends out to the woods and film movies. Stupid ones. But still be able to goof around. I remember one where we stuffed a pair of my pants and shirts with newspaper and set it on fire. Then filmed it.
Fuck, would we ever be thrown in the slammer out here in L.A.
It just seems out here people are busybodies when they know money could be made from it. Permits are a fucking industry out here. Even in your own home. You have to put up signs that warn people you are shooting a movie. Great, so now you have failed movie biz neighbors trying to crack into the business, for which you have to report you're actually doing something. Good luck trying to navigate that hatred. My favorite are the ones that snitch on you, because they are that resentful. In Ohio, people are curious. Then they're helpful.
Not to say the state doesn't have limitations. Weather is a big factor. But, damned if I didn't get more done there, then here...where it's the movie biz capital. That's all changed of course. Dependent on side stepping the landmarks of humanity. Who would rather see you fail at your movie than they succeed.
