You could create your own job title and be a specialist in this field. You’d be one of the only, and I guarantee someone would hire you.

A couple people I met at Writing.com used to post pictures and share pictures of the natural landscapes in their areas, and most of it was prairie and swamp with trees in the water. Lots of armadillos around too. Didn’t see desert.

I didn’t know that about Maine. "Grown in Maine" doesn’t have the same ring, maybe.

Sounds like a good idea, you could really be onto something. However, many films offer escapism to their viewers; they are giving the viewer what they want to see. I’ll be honest, if I was watching a film based in Texas, and saw no desert, I’d think what the hell is going on. I know it’s not all desert, but that’s the first thing that comes to mind.

Saying that, many films need to be as realistic as possible, while others could definitely benefit from your ideas. It’s not just films, but television and other types of media too. You could even expand your idea into a PR-type ‘campaign’, not exactly to show awareness like it’s drugs or something, but I’m sure there’s some effective alternative than going to each director (unless you’re intending to be part of the film crew, that is).

I’m from the UK and recently studied the American west at school. Before that, all I thought of America was sunny california, a bit of desert down in texas, hillbillies and just huge cities. We studied the homestead act, and I had no idea the plains were so big; that the entire western coast is mountainous and that in some places on the plains the temperature could drop to -30C in the winter. People don’t seem to grasp the idea..

Take russia for example, people think it’s freezing, and everyone drinks vodka. It’s massive. Most of it is full of forests and plains and funnily enough, it’s not always cold.

You’re onto an idea there, it depends what you do I guess.

sounds like a good idea for a meaningful career, but you have to take into consideration that directors usually already have a vision for projects when they start running them. they'll want a desert landscape and might want to use texas, but you could advise them that there is hardly any of said landscape there. i'm not quite sure, but that's only because im not knowledgeable on this career. if you think you can make a difference then i say go for it, you love the job right! make sure though that you'll have a future in it though, that this career will prosper for you. you want to help give knowledge to other people though about regions which sounds cool to me. i think if you make good decisions, know what your doing,and watch out for yourself you'll do fine. i mean your going to grad school for this, you know what your talking about, good luck. ;p
