Our Story
Location Scout Pro was founded in 2010 by Emily Carter, a seasoned film producer with over two decades of experience in the industry. Frustrated by the often-difficult and time-consuming process of securing suitable filming locations, Emily envisioned a company that could streamline the process and provide filmmakers with access to Southern California's most diverse and stunning backdrops. From its humble beginnings as a small operation based in Los Angeles, Location Scout Pro has grown into the region's leading location scouting and management firm. We have proudly served a wide range of clients, from independent filmmakers to major Hollywood studios and international advertising agencies.
We understand that the perfect location can make or break a project. Whether you’re looking for a sun-kissed beach for a summer romance scene, a gritty urban alleyway for a crime drama, or a sprawling desert landscape for a post-apocalyptic epic, we have the resources and expertise to find precisely what you need. Our team of experienced location scouts possesses an intimate knowledge of Southern California's diverse geography, architecture, and cultural landscape. We maintain an extensive database of pre-approved locations, and we are constantly scouting new and exciting possibilities to expand our offerings.
At Location Scout Pro, we are more than just a location scouting company. We offer a comprehensive suite of location management services designed to alleviate the burdens of film production. From securing permits and negotiating location agreements to coordinating logistics and ensuring compliance with local ordinances, we handle all the details so you can focus on your creative vision.
