LA Production Challenges: 'Nobody Wants This' Shoots On Location
15 Jun
Summary
- Production designer navigated challenges of shooting on practical locations.
- Some sets were only accessible on the morning of filming.
- Teamwork and communication were critical for successful production.

The hit Netflix romantic comedy series "Nobody Wants This" presented significant production challenges due to its commitment to filming entirely on practical locations in Los Angeles. Production designer Claire Bennett described the experience as a stark contrast to the controlled environment of a soundstage, emphasizing the lack of flexibility.
Bennett revealed that her team sometimes gained access to sets only on the morning of filming, adding a layer of complexity. Essential to overcoming these obstacles was close collaboration and communication with the Director of Photography and his team, as well as the gaffer.
These on-location shoots, while demanding, also led to discoveries. The series, which is currently streaming its two seasons on Netflix, ultimately benefited from the dedicated teamwork that navigated its unique production demands.
