“Location, location, location” is a line you’ve probably heard countless times, and that’s because it’s true.
Run Da Show is here to help you find the perfect location for your next production, no matter what the project is.
Finding the right location for your production is just as important as finding the best talent to bring your idea to life.
We help by leveraging our coast-to-coast experience and global reach to scout out prime filming locations for commercials, music videos, branded content, documentaries, and general film. Whether you need a rural location no one’s ever heard of, or an urban epicenter that’s difficult to get access to, we find those opportunity-rich locations to make your production stand out.
This has an impact on not only the production’s visual quality, but also a ton of the logistics factors for your project.
Scouting for film, commercials, and TV requires very different approaches for each type of medium. We consider factors that will impact the entire production.
For example, a single commercial shoot has a lot more freedom. You don’t have to worry about long-term access to the location, permit renewals, and similar issues, and your logistics needs are a lot simpler. So, there’s less to worry about.
However, when you plan to shoot a bigger project with months of filming time, those logistical factors become a much bigger priority. Is the area going to be accessible throughout the entire project? Is the location rich with sources for top-tier crew members? What costs come along with the location? All of that has to be worked into the scouting process to make sure you get a picture-perfect location that aligns with the project’s goals.
Of course, we also focus on factors such as lighting, safety concerns, your ability to modify the space, etc.
When we help you find a location, we take everything into account. Our fixer services match perfectly with location scouting and permitting, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in other aspects of production management.
Nobody likes legalese, but in showbiz, it’s a fact of life. Even worse, it seems like every location has different regulations you have to comply with.
We make that easy by getting you the permits you need for:
We also help guide you to comply with those regulations and keep your project moving smoothly.
Not only do we help with those less enjoyable aspects of legal requirements, but we also help you access tax incentives and other benefits the location might offer.
One of the great things about Run Da Show is we’re not one-trick ponies. We offer the most comprehensive location scout and filming permit services possible.
So, when we scout out a location for you, we don’t call it a day after we find it. We stick around to help coordinate your team, work with vendors, handle last-minute pivots, and scale the location if necessary.
Run Da Show is experienced, fast, and reliably able to connect you with a top-tier network of resources domestically and internationally.
Don’t wait. Location permits take time. Email us today and secure your film location.
