A great location scout can make a challenging production easier by finding you amazing one-of-a-kind spaces. Here are some reliable ways to find the best scout for your project!
Finding a Location Scout on Local Film Commission Websites
Film commissions are formed in certain cities, states, and regions to help develop the film and television production industry in their area. These websites will typically have a crew directory where you’ll be able to search by keyword and find the resources you need. For instance, if you’re filming in Tennessee, you can find a production directory, browse locations, and find information on what the filming process is like in the state.
