How We Can Help
Film Albany completely understands that casting your location can turn a good film into a great film. The right sense of place can make or break a film. Many times your location often acts as a main character or contains the entirety of the action. Your locations may not be as specific or detailed as an award-winning director yet, but they are as vitally important to your film as the screenplay or cast. Send your professional images directly from the comfort of your office to us: dgoedeke@albany.org.
