Melanie Antos was driving around Buckhead and then headed to Brookhaven on a recent weekday afternoon searching for an empty storefront that would serve as an ideal spot for a Ring Pop commercial. Remember the retro diamond-shaped candy on a ring?
“The director wants to transform the store into something similar to an Apple store, but with candy,” she said matter-of-factly while cruising the streets.

Antos, who lives in Dunwoody and is co-founder of Mellen Productions, with Brookhaven-based partner Ellen Rizzo, is a location scout who specializes in finding sites, such as empty retail stores, for producers and directors to use in TV commercials or feature films.
