I think you encountered some non-film-friendly libraries. Not knowing where you are in New England, I can only give some vague suggestions. Some communities are a lot more film friendly than others. Also, the nature of the film can be a problem. There are a lot of non-profits that might...

He might want to do a search on proper boom technique. Alcove is just trying to save a lot of future frustration. Try and do some test runs or try and use some of equipment before you buy, especially if expensive.

There's one on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACUjnJBHIZc. You could check to see if you can use it or maybe make some similar sound maybe with some toy dart gun.

I would talk with the kid first to see how enthusiastic he is about the part. Make him co-producer and let him come up with the money. It might not be from his parents. Wealthy people ususally hang out with other welthy people. He might have it himself.

Do not know where you are in Ma., but there are several makeup artists in the Boston area. The big problem is whether you can pay for their services. You could try Craigslist, Facebook and Linkedin. To get tips, you could try Youtube.

There are several shows on HBO that have won or were nominated for Emmies that have nudity. If someone will not be comfortable with their grandchildren seeing a scene, don't do it because what you do can crop up 40 years or more in the future.

You can check with the film bureau for assistance. I haven't checked for a while, but in Ma. there were companies that listed different items for filmmakers and there might be locations. You can also check with fellow filmmakers in your area to see if they know of any.

If you expand your definition of shorts, people do make money. Commercials are shorts. Shows like Saturday Night Live is a bunch of shorts tied together with a theme. There are contests where you can win cash prizes for shorts and many have no fees. There are short promo pieces for companies.

There is always Craigslist too.

Distributor asked to see clearances and actor decides he doesn't want to take the risk of losing SAG for future projects. Could decide he wants more money if you manag to gt distributor. Most distributors require Errors & Ommissions Insurance. You won't get it without clearances.

In regaards to a library, a friend shot most of his movie in our local library. It substituted for an art museum.
