Location to recreate 1950s(ish) British Seaside Town

[jen laneMember]

Hi

I’m looking for a location to stand in for a British seaside town.

Lots of clean lines in architecture. But slightly spooky. A cross between Martin Parr and David Lynch.

Looking to shoot in March with good weather and long days.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jen

How about Deal on the southcoast, which actually boasts a pier from 1954 and we think is a little spooky, too?

If you are interested, give us a call on 0300 333 5656 or email us on filmoffice@kent.gov.uk.

Hi Jen,
We have a few possibilities here in Scotland: Rothesay on the Isle of Bute with its 1920s Winter Gardens and 1930s Pavilion, or Largs on the Clyde Coast to name but two. Contact us at locations@creativescotland.com 0141 302 1723/1735 for further info and photos.
Best wishes,
Louise

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I need somewhere abroad though as the weather and shooting days in March won’t be very good in the UK for an outdoor shoot

Dear Jen,
I’d like to suggest you Piriapolis in Uruguay (South America).
Interesting options but don’t know if it suits your script.
Best wishes,

Thanks Daniel

Uruguay has been suggested by a friend of mine as well, those images are great. Are you a local fixer?

Cheers

Hi there,

As Daniel before, I can tell you that Uruguay can offer very interesting solutions for this in terms of Locations, and weather wise too!

March in Uruguay = still summer time (so long warm days)

Best Regards

Hello Jen,

Please find some reference pictures of what we can find along the west coast of France. From south of Brittany to the area of Bordeaux.

You can find on these areas piers, long walk side on the beach with old houses, nice sand beaches;

Weather would be better than in the UK.

For further details and more pictures please send us an email to : gilles@lacreativefactory.com.

La creative factory is a location scouting company and not a Production company, we cover all part of France and in Particular the west side of France.

Hi Jen,

Probably not quite British enough but plenty of spookiness (old deserted, crumbling buildings etc) and always sunny, so if you end up going in a different direction, consider Cuba

Good luck
