Small Town Frame

1. Start a production. Add its scenes and what each one needs, or just say how many days you want to shoot.
2. Fill the needs. Pick a local’s place or another maker’s craft. Every rate is public, and picking one pencils it in.
3. Build the schedule. Pin scenes to shoot days. A move that breaks a rule (an actor is away, a place is closed, turnaround is too short, the light runs out) is refused, and the board says why. Every move shows what it costs.
4. Submit it to the town. The town office sees tentative holds. Each local, each maker and the office approve their part, and the schedule becomes final.
5. Permits and the credit. The board flags what needs a permit, and you request it. You see which parts of the Wisconsin film credit you look like you qualify for: an estimate, not a ruling.

1. List your place, or claim it. Many places are already listed from public information. Claim yours to take charge of it.
2. Say what you offer. Set your rates and when you’re open.
3. Answer holds. You see only the productions that book you. A hold left unanswered for 2 days sends you a reminder; after 4, the town office hears too.

One account can be both. Productions are private: only the people on one, and the town office, see its details.
