Location Spotlight
 Residential Homes at the Highlander Inn, Manchester
Secluded in a far corner of The Highlander
Inn property sit three residential homes that are just waiting to be
used for film production. Like a mini-back lot set, these three houses
neighbor each other and rest adjacent to a large paved parking lot
where production vehicles can be parked close to the action. The
best part is that all three homes are owned and maintained by the owner
of The Highlander Inn and are contained on private property - all
permitting can be done through one owner without the hassels of traffic
details, etc. in a similar neighborhood. This is your own private
residential set.
To view the location file for this property, click here.
If you are a New Hampshire residential or business property owner and you are interested in listing your property as a potential filming location, e-mail the New Hampshire Film & Television Office at film@nh.gov or call (603) 271-2220.

New Hampshire Film Industry Meet-Up set for September 29
A New Hampshire Film Industry Meet-Up, presented by the New Hampshire Film and Television Office, will take place on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 5 p.m. at the State Library, 20 Park Street in Concord.
The
New Hampshire Film and Television Industry Meet-Up is a new program and
an extension of our current Industry Roundtables. While our Roundtables
are designed to be lunch-time, business-oriented events with a focused
topic, the meet-ups are scheduled in the early evening and are
structured to allow attendees to drive the discussion. The format may
change from time to time: one evening may be more like a "Pecha Kucha" type of event, another may adopt a "Speed Geeking"
format, or the evening may take on a more traditional meet-up role
(like the one on Sept. 29) with everyone having the chance to take a
few minutes to introduce themselves and provide information on their
recent or upcoming endeavors (yes, there will be a set time limit!)
Like
the Roundtables, conversation at the Meet-up is geared toward the
working film industry and is free and open to the public.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP by Monday, September 28 via e-mail to film@nh.gov or by calling (603) 271-2220.

New Hampshire Film & Television Office presents panel discussions at NHFF
The New Hampshire Film & Television Office will be presenting two panel discussions at this year's New Hampshire Film Festival. Both panels will be held on Friday, October 16 at the Connie Bean Center in Portsmouth.
10 a.m.: Community Access Media and the Independent Filmmaker
As the independent film scene continues to change shape, more and more
filmmakers are looking for alternative distribution and exhibition
methods to get their work seen, and in doing so, many have rediscovered
the means right in their own backyard - via community access television
and the web. Filmmakers are anxiously looking for an audience while at
the same time community access television stations are hungry for new
and cutting-edge programming. This panel discussion will take a look at
what's happening with today's community access media, including its
bridge to the internet, and how community access can be an ideal venue for
independent media production and filmmaking. Attendees are encouraged
to participate and to offer their ideas, suggestions, and opinions.
1 p.m.: The Top Ten Legal and Business Choices for Independent Filmmakers
This panel will identify and highlight the most important lessons for
an independent filmmaker, including such topics as entity structure,
financing, fundraising, rights agreements, cast, insurance,
distribution, music, and others. The panelists will share their "must
list" for producing the successful independent film. Attendees are
encouraged to participate and to offer their ideas, suggestions, and
opinions.
More information on both panels can be found here.
