But as weeks of preparation progressed, it was very enriching to have conversations with Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n in a direct and very constant way, where he told us about some characters. At locations, he told us how he saw them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately on <em>Roma<\/em>, the department heads and Alfonso were more or less the same age, and therefore, their memories were in some cases shared by many of us. That helped to visualize what Alfonso told us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Production designer Eugenio Caballero, who finally read the script two weeks after shooting started, was enormously helpful to the location team. \u201cI didn\u2019t know the film\u2019s story,\u201d he says, \u201cbut this was part of a game we decided to play with Alfonso. He said, \u2018I don\u2019t want to show you the script. I don\u2019t want to talk about stories. I want to talk about the subjects we\u2019re trying to show. It\u2019s not about what happens with the actors and their characters. It\u2019s about what are we trying to tell in a social and political context. It\u2019s about the classes, about a family that breaks, about loneliness, about the condition of women in Mexico City at the time. There were a lot of things we tried to convey. I tried to pass all the information to Horacio. \u2018This is what I know.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We need a street, and on this street we have to have a house and we\u2019ll talk about these subjects.\u2019<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to translate that to a visual code. Although I had no script, I had a lot of time to talk to my director. That was the way we got the locations we wanted. It was a very interesting process. It was problematic for all of us, but because I had a director and crew I trusted, it was okay.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>From the very beginning, I trusted that Horacio would deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27969\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27969\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27969\" src=\"http:\/\/home\/locatis4\/public_html\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_12684_RF-lighter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_12684_RF-lighter.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_12684_RF-lighter-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_12684_RF-lighter-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Carlos Somonte\/Netflix<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Caballero had never worked with Rodriguez, he says. \u201cI don\u2019t make movies in Mexico.

But when we started to work together, I saw that he was a good listener. He told me he wanted to see the places where the real story happened. Only when we started looking did we acknowledge it wasn\u2019t possible because many things had changed a lot in 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caballero speaks highly of Rodriguez. \u201cI\u2019ve worked with many location managers in my life,\u201d he says. \u201cMost of them are very good, although sometimes I find they want a very fast answer rather than a thoughtful answer. Horacio hears what was said, understands and makes notes. He asks questions and comes back with solutions. I was impressed with his strength and that of his team. They really think outside the box. They try to understand what the director and designer want. They worked very closely with me. I think locations has to be part of the art department.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Continuity was very important.

They were very professional in terms of \u2018You cannot do that because it\u2019s a historical site.\u2019 They tried to provide some solutions of how to approach certain ideas. They found beautiful locations, but we spent many hours looking for them.

Mexico City authorities agreed to fully support the project, and that\u2019s how we managed to avoid any bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>Each week, we planned a meeting with all the city authorities to discuss our needs. If we needed to close a street, some subway accesses or some pedestrian accesses, they knew about it. Together, we found alternative routes in advance so as not to collapse the city in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>Working one or two weeks in advance helped a lot. To film the revolt that we see in the furniture store scene, where a student uprising occurred because of government repression in the \u201970s, government support helped a lot. It meant being able to control two days of filming in a section of Mexico City that was completely closed, where daily life takes place on a main street.<\/p>\n<p><b>NM: Can you describe the process for filming in Mexico?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>HR:<\/b> The Mexican Film Commission has its headquarters in Mexico City. It is a support tool because it depends on the Mexican Institute of Cinematography, which operates at a federal level. It\u2019s linked to the 32 states in the country and tourist offices in charge of receiving film projects. There are no independent offices of cinematography.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Film Commission issues all the permits.

They are the ones that support you and set the local regulations, depending on your resource capacity. They can give you transportation or a tourist guide who can show you the whole state, whether you are looking for an urban or rural location.

And yes, indeed, we were in that type of zone. Fortunately, we made contact with the government authorities, and that helped a lot. The whole shoot flowed in a safe way for the more than 100 crew members, plus the extras.<\/p>\n<p>In order to film in Mexico City, you have to be in constant contact with the city authorities to control the street and access, whether it be pedestrian, vehicular or bicycle. It\u2019s normal to hire security teams\u2014we call them logistic teams.

Searching began with a visit by some department heads, Alfonso and me to the real house where he had lived in Colonia Roma. Because of security issues in the city, the family that today lives in that house didn\u2019t trust us. They wouldn\u2019t open the house because in the beginning we couldn\u2019t say it was an Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n project. After two or three weeks, we had to tell Alfonso that we should use his name to get the door open. It was the only way we managed to enter that house. In our visit, Alfonso showed us the whole house. Unfortunately for him, his childhood house was already modified. He left disappointed because it was no longer the house of his memories.<\/p>\n<p>For us, it helped us to understand the geography of the spaces that Alfonso required for his project. We searched all neighborhoods, especially the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The Colonia Roma has a certain look in the interiors of their houses. In Mexico City, Colonia Roma is a neighborhood where a middle-high social class lives today. There are not too many neighborhoods like that.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I think we showed Alfonso around 150 houses\u2014both interiors and exteriors. He was very clear about how the interior spaces should be. Many of the houses we presented did not suit him, either because of the layout, the lack of double-height ceilings or they did not have garages. It was extremely difficult to remove a complete family from the house that Alfonso would use for more than six months.<\/p>\n<p>So we went to a second stage. As location manager, I suggested to Alfonso that instead of looking for a house to rent, it was better to buy it. That way, Eugenio could adapt the spaces in the house and make all the modifications that were needed. In the end, we found a house that had been empty for a year. It was going to be demolished and replaced by an apartment building. Fortunately, we managed to postpone the demolition. It even worked as a cover set when suddenly in the rainy season, we had to do interiors only and that was our refuge.<\/p>\n<p><b>Eugenio Caballero:<\/b> It was very important that we had an actual house because we were working with nonprofessional actors, so the idea of going to a studio wasn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27967\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27967\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27967\" src=\"http:\/\/home\/locatis4\/public_html\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_003_RF.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_003_RF.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_003_RF-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_003_RF-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fernando Gradiaga as Se\u00f1or Antonio, Marina de Tavira as Se\u00f1ora Sof\u00eda, Marco Graf as Pepe, and Yalitza Aparicio as Cleo in Roma, written and directed by Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n.\u00a0Photo by Carlos Somonte\/Netflix<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>NM: Roma is set in 1970 and 1971.

The support of Mexico City\u2019s government was very important because we had to remove a lot of street furniture that did not match the time.<\/p>\n<p><b>NM: Eugenio read the script a few weeks after shooting started. Did he advise you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>HR: <\/b>Not really. I think it helped the department heads to contribute our memories to the project in some way. Alfonso and Eugenio guided me only in memories. Before introducing the locations to Alfonso, we introduced them to Eugenio. He knew if the locations would appeal to Alfonso. He was our main filter.<\/p>\n<p><b>NM: What other locations were challenging to find?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>HR:<\/b> The hospital. It is a real building in a very crowded medical complex, 21st Century Medical Center, in Mexico City. That building was damaged in the earthquake of 1985, and it remained closed until we found it. After talking with the authorities of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, we were able to open the building. They let us use all the space for five months so that Eugenio could create the sets. The only thing we did was do a study, a structural assessment with engineers so that they would guarantee that the building would not fall while we were working inside it. Alfonso very much liked that it was a real building from that time. Also, he liked the fact that his father had worked in that medical complex.<\/p>\n<p>It was challenging to find the right beach. In Alfonso\u2019s memory, the beach should be in Veracruz, and that area of the country has very particular beach characteristics. It had to be a beach where there should not be many people or cars. The sand and waters had to be very similar to Veracruz beaches. Finally, we found it in Tabasco, which is on the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27973\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27973\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27973\" src=\"http:\/\/home\/locatis4\/public_html\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_23624_RF.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_23624_RF.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_23624_RF-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/locationmanagers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/ROMA_23624_RF-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yalitza Aparicio as Cleo in Roma.<br \/>Photo by Carlos Somonte\/Netflix<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>EC: <\/b>Classic beaches in Mexico are tropical paradises, but we wanted to have a nontropical sad beach\u2014not that cheerful.
