Location Management.
Two decades of doors opened, permits pulled and owners kept happy across Los Angeles and beyond. From canyon roads to private estates — we find it, we lock it, we run it.
Scouting
Custom-built location books tailored to script, board and brand. Tech scouts, sun studies and walkthroughs included.
Securing
Permits, owner negotiations, COIs and contracts handled end-to-end — across city, county, state and federal jurisdictions.
Managing
On-set location management — calm, communicative, by-the-book. Neighbor relations, parking, base camp and traffic control.
Recovery
Wrap, restoration and relationships kept warm for the next visit. We leave every location better than we found it.

What collaborators say.
“He found us a stretch of highway that didn't exist on any scout I'd seen in twenty years. And he closed it twice.”
“Calm under pressure, sharp on the paperwork, and the only locations guy whose phone I answer at 5 a.m.”
Common questions.
Ideally 3–6 weeks out, but we routinely turn around tight scouts in days. The earlier we're in, the more options we can put in front of you and the cleaner the permit window.
Yes — we permit across California regularly and run nationwide and international on request, with trusted local fixers wherever the script takes us.
Absolutely. We're often brought in to manage a location the production has secured — handling owner relations, COIs, neighbor notifications and on-set logistics.
A scout phase with photo books and tech scouts, a lock phase with permits and contracts, and a run phase with on-set management and wrap. We scope to the production, never the other way around.
