There's an old filmmaker's adage to keep the number of locations limited. Interestingly enough in my location research I am discovering that this may be totally wrong. I know that it helps in the sense that location moves absorbs a half a day and you have less art direction. However, I'm realizing that finding a place that you can totally monopolize for four weeks (3 for shooting, 1 for prep) is a lot to ask. So, there are definitely disadvantages because asking to use a location for a day or two is certainly much more reasonable a request.
I think picking locations which are accessible or non-specific locations would be a really good idea. Mark that one down if you're still deciding what film to make.
