Would there be substantial value to filming some scenes inside or outside Bob Dylan's childhood home for a short or feature? I bike past his childhood home almost every day. I was thinking might that add PR (marketing value) to a film, provide a certain viewers' curiosity? It is possible I might talk the owners into cooperating for a film project. Or would it not really be worth the effort? Just a thought. It is a rather simple somewhat run down duplex in a simple lower income part of town. Side by side duplex, peach colored which is visually interesting.

It would only add interest after the fact if your movie became wildly popular. It would be a nice trivia thing, but not likely to attract many additional viewers, just give the people who would watch it anyway something else to look for. So in my opinion it wouldn't make a difference in marketing the film.

Probably more bother than than it is worth obtaining permission to film in that house. Oh well, just a thought.

Unless you did something like, the tale of a struggling musician, from childhood to the realization of his dream. Even if you didn't do Boy Dylan's life story, if you did something like that it might add marketing value

I was thinking similar, a film about a struggling musician, etc. But then using his childhood house and all I might get sued for an unauthorized quasi-biography. Well, it just seemed interesting giving that I bike past that house every day. Maybe the house could just make a "cameo appearance" in a film!

Bike? Ahhhh, the things we do for our art. I'm biking to my location tomorrow, as I can't get a ride. Down here in florida though, biking somewhere requires planning, pre-chilled water bottles, and endurance. I actually made a film about a guy trying to get in shape who has to bike the same stretch over and over again, and never makes it up a hill.

Hills? We got em. I live in Duluth MN, a city on a hill much like San Francisco. I live on the hill, bike down 10 blocks to the lake where there is a coffee shop with wifi (I am there now typing this). Then I have to bike home--10 blocks uphill, not a pretty site. But then I feel no guilt being a couch slug each evening watching a movie!

Everyone thinks, Florida, hot but at least no hills. Of course I live in on e of the hilliest places in Florida. It is actually calledMount Mary. I do the same exact thing, what a coincidence. In fact we have a coffee shop right down by our lake that is right next to the restaurant I'm using as a location. I worked there for a while, and would bike down there. I got so tired of biking up hill that I started walking.
