Got a call from Netflix productions the other day, from transportation procurement.
They film the series 'Mindhunter' in pittsburgh and the producers want 100% authenticity.
On each set they do not want pedant pointing out on the web 'well that model fridge/radio/couch did not exist at that time' and right now they are buying 1978/1979 items.
This season which is starting filming next week is about the Atlanta child murders.
Well one of the set designers has a booth at the same antique store I keep my pittsburgh stereos at and he gets a lot of radios from me - so far boom boxes, 8 track tape players and GE cubes (he snoozed and lost of a panasonic and technics stereo that sold quickly)
Word got out I have the 78 olds as I bring it to the store on the twice yearly cruise in (saturday is one) and local cruises, so I got the call they would like the car in the background shots.
I get $155 if I park it, $225 if I drive by. Gotta be available all day, no union cards needed. Can even be an extra (I asked if I could be a zombie - be more fun)
Not sure I can attend next weeks schedule as I got real work at work, but Im trying to work her in...
Last season, when they went to 'altoona' to interview someone in one of the episodes, one of my cubes was visible in the bedroom shot.
