    Hi. I’m looking for a location/s to create an “end-of-the-world” desolate city look for a short film. Basically the place has to look like it could never be re-generated for people to live in. I’ve considered Cuba & Russia but would like to ask for recommendations. Thanks.

    Hi Sarah,
    our company Mendips Productions (www.themendips.com), has production offices in Cuba and Bulgaria and we think there are plenty of good opportunities in both situations. Let me know more details about the dates you need to shoot and possibly some more details about the location and we will send you references from our 20,000 pictures database and if necessary we will make a quick scouting for you. Please wite me to mario@themendips.com or production@themendips.com or call me at +359-887317699 or +34-610571251. Best. Mario

    Dear Sarah,

    I would recomend you to see Pripyat – a few kms from Chernobyl. Evacuated city. No people. Radiation is in normal level already.
    You can see clip about this zone here
    http://pripyat.com/media/movie/stalkerClip.avi
    Pripyat starts from 2’42”

    Some pictures you can find here:

    Hi Sarah!

    You should also try the Dominican Republic! Let me know if you think that there is anything that I can do to help. Hurricane George hit here in 1998 and left some areas devasted that due to the economy are still in the same condition.

    Hope this helps! Email me if you’d like, I’d love to learn a little more about your project!
