Im a no/low budget/student film-maker and I would like to film in a mansion, can you make any suggestions?
Firstly we suggest approaching friends or family for help, as they dont usually charge as much. Most location owners are open to negotiation, but you could also think of a way that you may be able to help them, by advertising in the credits perhaps. If neither option is viable you may like to rethink the setting for your scene – its good to aim high, but not to work beyond your means.
