Family game night, decade by decade

Five families, five decades, one living room. The board games turn into joysticks, card games and dance mats, and the brick wall and globe lights are there for all of it.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT (1962)

Globe lights glow above a long mustard sofa. A board game sprawls across the coffee table, popcorn everywhere.

TOMMY (10) rattles the dice like his life depends on it.

DAD

Easy, champ. It's just a game.

TOMMY

Then why are you losing?

SERIES OF SHOTS - THE SAME LIVING ROOM, NIGHT

Where you would shoot it

This is the real space, as it looks today.

The real living room with its brick wall and globe pendants

Period details built in

A full brick wall, a wood plank ceiling on exposed beams and globe pendants carry the era in every angle.

Plays any decade

Swap the art, lamps and props and the same room reads 1960s, 1980s or present day, with the mid-century furniture in place or cleared.

Split levels next door

Half flights of stairs connect the levels, so the scene can move room to room with long sightlines.

Make it yours

Art, paint, wallpaper and fixtures can all change to suit the family you are building.

See it in person

The house is unoccupied, with a property manager checking in daily, and now booking for 2026 to 2027 filming. Changes are welcome inside and out. Book a walkthrough and bring your ideas.
