Lights, Camera, Cash- A new production filming in Central New York, specifically the Syracuse area, will pay you to use your home.

According to the Syracuse Film Office, an independent film titled “Mabel” is scheduled to begin shooting in the Syracuse area later this month. Producers are currently looking for one or two neighboring homes to be used for the movie. Syracue.com describes the film as a family-friendly story about a young girl who uses her passion for plants to fit in and make friends after moving to a new neighborhood.

So here's what they are looking for-

1) The production would need a house available for complete access to a film crew for 10-12 days in August.

2) If your home is selected, you will be offered a location fee and reallocation provisions if necessary for the use of any property of interest.

Here's what producers are looking for:

- 1 House or 2 Houses – next door to one another or otherwise adjacent.
- A green backyard(s) with garden(s) and/or shed in 1 backyard would be an added bonus
- 3-5 Bedrooms preferred
- Lightly furnished or unfurnished interiors - stage home quantity is fine

If you are interested in having your house considered, also looking for some extra cash, contact Eric Vinal at evinal@visitsyracuse.com. Additional details about “Mabel,” including the cast, writer and director, have not been announced.

Take A Look Inside The Abandoned ShoppingTown Mall In Dewitt, NY

Onondaga County currently owns the ShoppingTown Mall located in Dewitt New York near the Syracuse area. As of today, the mall is abandoned. The future of the building will go to someone who has the best vision for it. Onondaga County has issued an official request for proposals (RFP) for ShoppingTown Mall. The property will be resold to the buyer with the best plan for revitalizing the vacant property.
Proposers will need to have a demonstrated history of producing "high quality projects," according to the statement. They will also need to produce financial information related to the project."
Jordan Harmon was able to tour the property and take plenty of photos recently with permission from Onondaga County:
The main purpose of this shoot was to document this historical structure before any alterations occur. I grew up with this mall, I can remember coming here as a kid. This was the place my family did our back to school shopping and the place where I’d blow my allowance at Fun Junction playing laser tag. To see it now is shocking to say the least. The former owner of the mall clearly made no effort to maintain it, let alone stop the hundreds of leaks in the roof.
