We went into this process already knowing where we wanted to film. Moonlite is a well-decorated small retro diner. It's not far from where we all live and isn't big enough to be busy all the time. That was perfect for filming. Before we even started to film, we had to get approval. This process, we assumed, was going to have multiple steps. Our group member, Ben, called to assure that they had certain policies. After a few calls, he was able to speak to the owner. The owner explained that we had to go online and fill out a form, and email it to them. I went online and found the form. I emailed them a few times over the course of two weeks or so. After we didn't receive a response, we had to come up with another solution. Amy decided that, since she lives the closest, she could drive there and attempt to speak to someone about our request in person. The manager said that he would talk to the owner and call us back. After we didn't receive a call, we, again, had to call. Amy called one last time and was able to work out something with the owner. He asked us about our film and after we described it, he loved it. He agreed to let us film for free, as long as we take new pictures of the location. We were so happy to finally solve the problem of location.
