🎬 Location Call-Out!

A production is seeking a building with a distinctive 1960s–70s aesthetic.

The ideal location would include an exterior entrance, a large open room, an office space, and a hallway. Both the interior and exterior should carry that vintage character.

Take a look at the photos in this post for reference. If you know of a space that fits, we’d love to hear from you!
