    Hi Alex,

    Hope you’re well. I do have a location in mind, but the owner is very particular about what jobs she’ll accept. It’s a bird house is Mallorca.

    Can you give me project details please, is it a feature film? Number of filming days, size of cast and crew.

    You can email me on mail@1st-option.com or call on 020 7284 2345

    Thanks,
    Eviké – 1st Option Representation Ltd.

    Hi Johnny,

    I work for 1st Option, a location agency based in London, so thought I would offer some advice. You will need to contact the Film Office and local authorities to arrange permission to film at these locations. You will also need to contact the police, TFL and the Highways Agency to arrange road closures. Here are some useful contact details:

    City of London Film Office – 0207 332 3202
    Transport For London – 0203 054 1312

    To hire police for your traffic holds will cost £55.42 per hour for a police constable and £68 per hour for a sergeant (though these rates may have gone up since I last enquired). The police will decide how many police you will need on the day and a booking is for a minimum of 6 hours.

    We represent a wide range of locations for use in photographic and film shoots but do not tend to get involved in location management on shoot days. I will be happy to recommend some freelance Location Managers if you are still looking.

    Let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kristian
