    Hi Location Boys. Since you are looking to do a scene rather than the whole film, to help you, we need to know where you are or where you are shooting the rest of the film. If you are in the US it is not an option to shoot a scene in Buenos Aires. Do you understand?

    Regards,

    Hi Location Boys. This message is according to your request about a asylum, hospital or prison. We have in Salamanca a hospital with an empty floor. You can use it like a hypothetical asylum, hospital or prison. Some people filmed there like a hospital. I send you some photos. If you need more information you can ask us for it.

    Hi Location Boys,

    I have a number of locations which may be suitable. All can be found on http://www.filmhampshire.org.uk.

    • St. Cross Hospital (location C010) is a medieval hospital which has been used for a wide range of filming in the past.

    In addition we have a large range of derelict buildings which could easily double as a hospital. For example;
    • J026
    • J030

    Please get in touch via info@filmhampshire.org.uk or + 44 (0)1962 845745 for more information.

    Best wishes,

    Hi there,
    Here in Latvia you could find some abandoned hospitals and military installations from Soviet times.
    Take a look here: http://picasaweb.google.com/clc.kristians/Hospital1# – built in 1912, it was used as hospital till 90ties, now it is abandoned. There might be more such a buildings while now several old hospitals are closing down due to restructuring of medical care in country.

    Screen Vision studio would be glad to assist you with your project.
