Just write the snow storm into the script.   If the story is good then for the reason you supplied it can always be changed before production to a hurricane, dust storm, wildfire -- something less frozen.  

Hi Dena,

Just film it in a snowstorm !!!!!  Cheaper
Get a dog sleigh and head North !!!! Hee Hee

Rosco, Rosco, Rosco be careful Rosco is sensitive.

Logline: A guy named Jeff, with a split personality, becomes Rosco, a man with multiple straws up his nose. He logs onto SS and disguises himself as a screenwritter.

May be a great read.

Sorry Dena for hijacking your thread.

Hey Dena,

If you have lots of exteriors, that gets costly.
But showing snow and ice on windows for your interiors, much less costly.

If you're going to set it in snow...
I highly recommend using Michigan as an environment.
They have awesome tax credits that will help the budget.

Good luck!

I'm not shooting anything. Just writing...someone liked the first 30 of a seasonal rom/com I wrote and they want the rest of the script. They want low budget so reworking some of the snow scenes...

Gonna do what you suggested Brett and use snowfalling(seen from a window) etc so there are no big snowy EXTs.

Thanks for all the good advice.

I know you're not shooting...
But producers know that MI has suberb tax credits.

I've even been asked to set scripts in states with high tax credits by producers.

Maybe you can show snow through the windows in interior shots, as Brett suggested, and shoot exterior shots at another location.

It depends largely on what locations the filmmakers have available to them. I live in Oregon, a few hours from Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood where Kubrick shot some of the exterior shots for The Shining. Sometimes there's snow there all the way into July.
