I just got this msg through airbnb...
Hi Donald!
You've got a lovely space! I was wondering if you are film friendly. We would leave very little foot track as it is for two days for an 12 hours max shoot per day and 5 actors/actress. We can even accommodate to finishing early if that is a concern you want to address. It's a small crew of less than 10 people so 15 in total and I leave the place better than when I found it. If you read my reviews of the previous place we used for location, I have a great reputation. If this sounds like an interest to you please let me know. thank you! Also the dates are from 11/17 and 11/18 or 11/19 evening

Hey thank you. May I ask what type of film? And, what areas of our property would you want to film in? We have had a couple photoshoots here and inquiries about shooting rap videos but I've been hesitant due to potential problems. I honestly love the idea and think if our place were in a film or TV show, it would help us book more nights. Convince me that having 20 or so people here for two days for 12 hours each day would be beneficial to us. THANKS! -Don

Hi Donald,
Thank you for your quick response. I understand that many productions may leave a bad reputation for people who are serious about their work. We are shooting a short film which has been selected for the Atlanta Film comp that is going through another selection process. We are given set of rules with short turnaround time to make final selection for the best short which will be screened. You will be credited as I have credited the previous owners for their location. How I can convince you is by you taking a chance on our crew and reading the past review. Frankly it's your call and as much as I would like to convince you, for me action speaks louder than words. Your call. Either way truly appreciate your consideration.
I responded...
Ok thanks. Would you be shooting both in the arcade AND the tinyhouse? What about outside? Roughly how many vehicle would be here each day? I'm just wondering how much attention this is going to attract in our neighborhood. And lastly, how have previous homeowners/airbnb hosts priced this type of stay? I couldn't possibly have all that going on here for $100 a night. I'm sure you understand. What's a fair price in your opinion? Thanks for your candor. -Don
WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK? What's a fair price for 20 people in your property for 2 full days, 12 hours a day?
