The Village Voice is a long time published newspaper “(Wikipedia – The Village Voice) …in New York City featuring investigative articles, analysis of current affairs and culture, arts reviews and events listings for New York City. It is also distributed throughout the United States on a pay basis…

Recently, I was hired to location scout in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming UK tv program and it was an opportunity for me to explore an interesting city I have lived within 20 minutes or so of for about 15 years but never really spent much time in, other than to pass thru on the NJ Transit train to get to the PATH train, (which runs under the Hudson River) to travel into New York City.

A semi-monthly print magazine I subscribe to is New York Spaces, published by Wainscott Media, LLC (New York, NY), “the home design magazine of metropolitan New York”.

From a personal point of view it is very enjoyable to view the photo stories about remarkable homes and spaces featured in the magazine in each issue and read the accompanying stories to learn the background of these properties and a bit about the owners.

As a location scout it is valuable to keep abreast of current design trends. I have never, so far, approached any of the owners whose properties have been featured in New York Spaces personally regarding use of their home as a location but the notion does not seem so far-fetched…. The current issue of New York Spaces features a loft in DUMBO / Brooklyn I thought might be a location from my files, the Dumbo Loft, but after comparing the photos in the magazine with the photos of the Dumbo Loft on file, while both are somewhat similar and both very attractive, it is easy to see they are two different properties.

SOS Filmworks, part of Agua Dulce Movie Ranch, is a very unique filming location in the Agua Dulce, CA area in southern California.
