For our 5th scene, we needed a nice restaurant for our two families to meet. Previously, we went looking for suitable locations, asking for permission to film there, and we ended up with 4 amazing options. Unfortunately, we could only choose one, so after some thought and consideration we decided to go with our original choice, Soho.
We feel like this matches the vibe of our film much better than the others. Gloria jeans was too small, and they allowed us to film after 5:00, which wasn't ideal due to majority of our cast and team being younger than 18. Nando's had potential, however, while talking to the staff, from beginning to end, we realized the reservation process was lengthy, which could have postponed our filming till December. We still decided to think about it, but soon understood that it seemed more like a family restaurant than one where a proposal would take place. Our decision on Nando's really sped up the process for Roundabout. We noticed that it also had more of a fast food vibe to it, which is unfitting for our scene.
