Securing the right location involves careful negotiation and legally sound agreements. We manage the entire contracting process with property owners, businesses, and public entities. Our team ensures contracts clearly define terms of use, access, fees, insurance requirements, and restoration obligations, protecting your production's interests and fostering positive relationships with location providers.

Tailored Location Packages

For productions seeking inspiration or specific thematic settings, we offer curated location packages. These might focus on specific genres (e.g., historical dramas, romantic comedies, thrillers), regions (e.g., Parisian elegance, Riviera glamour, Alpine majesty), or production scales. These packages provide a starting point, which we can then customize fully to your unique project needs, streamlining the initial search phase.
