"Your Film Commission Has Gone Mad!" San Francisco Magazine

“People said S.F. would be harder [to shoot in] than New York or L.A., but really it’s not,” says Sarah Condon, executive producer of Looking. Filming elsewhere, she says, just wouldn’t be the same. “Looking is location-based. Sex and the City is New York; Entourage is L.A.; we’re here.” For Helen Robin, a New York producer and perennial Woody Allen collaborator, San Francisco is cramped, contentious, and ill prepared for the rigors of shooting. And it’s totally worth it. “Woody thought San Francisco would be great, and at first I thought, ‘Oh god.’ But now if somebody asked me, I’d say, ‘Yes, shoot in San Francisco. You’ll get a lot of help from the Film Commission.’”
