Alright so Im starting a short film for a film festival.

My concept involves a coffee place like tim hortons and It is important that I get a coffee place since the concept revolves arround this.

I have a contact who owns a tim hortons, problem is I will most likely need permits from tim hortons in order to shoot since this is for a festival. I doubt they will ever accept.

So what are my solutions? I need a coffee place, shooting at night, with permission. re writting is not an option here!

need as many suggestions as possible GO!

post in M&A, I bet people there would know. Or, find a place that isn't a chain.

I did both since I need a realy fast response, my deadline is tiny. I thought it was also a question of general knowledge so I decided to pass it by you guys also

just to continue about filming locations, me and my buddy made a short film for our high school course. we originally wanted it to take place in a mall, but there was absolutely 0 chance of that happening. within 3 minutes of taking out the camera security came down. they were nice enough, but the reason was that we might be taking photos of the architecture for terrorists. and i live in canada.

here it is though, we had to change the location to my buddies house last minute, and we lost our script for that part. and we edited the whole thing in 1 night blitzed out of our minds, still had a fucking great itme though!

Maybe you could go to a local coffee shop that isn't a chain and ask them
