Alex A.
Secret Santa Monica Loft, Just off Lincoln
to work with and kind. They quickly accommodated us when we asked to adjust our start time & even checked in when we had a filming hiccup during our shoot (our fault). The location is under construction and ended up being exactly the industrial look we needed. 10/10...

Mid Century Beachy Natural Light Apartment
This was a beautiful apartment for my film shoot. The host Christopher was very accommodating and is a great communicator. I would love to shoot here again...

Looks great, just...
