Company History
Location Scout Pro was founded in 2018 by Emily Carter and David Rodriguez, two seasoned film industry professionals with a shared passion for visual storytelling and a deep understanding of the challenges inherent in location scouting. Emily, a former production designer, and David, a location manager with over a decade of experience, recognized a need for a more efficient and reliable location scouting service in the Los Angeles area. They envisioned a company that would not only offer an extensive database of vetted locations but also provide personalized support and expert guidance throughout the entire production process.
Starting with a small office in Hollywood and a handful of dedicated scouts, Location Scout Pro quickly gained a reputation for its commitment to quality, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service. The company's initial focus was on serving independent filmmakers and small production companies, but as word spread about its capabilities, Location Scout Pro began attracting larger clients and expanding its services to include commercial photography and television production.
In 2020, Location Scout Pro launched its online platform, providing clients with access to a comprehensive database of locations, complete with detailed descriptions, high-resolution photos, and virtual tours. This innovation significantly streamlined the location scouting process, allowing clients to explore potential locations from the comfort of their own offices. The platform also incorporated advanced search filters, making it easier for clients to find locations that met their specific requirements.
Today, Location Scout Pro is a leading location scouting agency, serving clients across the United States and internationally. The company maintains a vast network of property owners and local communities, and its team of experienced scouts is dedicated to finding the perfect locations for every project, no matter how challenging. Location Scout Pro remains committed to its founding principles of quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction, and it continues to innovate and adapt to the ever-changing needs of the film industry.
