From time to time we feature various remarkable locations from our online location library of more than 3000 locations for film, photo, video / tv and events.

There are pages set up with links and screenshots to many of our location albums of featured locations:

Many of these location albums are also featured on our companion website, locationfiles.com.

We have a large number of locations available online for searching / research:

All the above resources can be extremely useful for your pitches and presentations; we are always willing to help you get that job so we can work together and of course, we are at your service to provide a diverse range of fee-based location services including file pulls and location research, location scouting, tech scouting and location management for all film, video/tv, photography and event productions as well as other production services, including complete production coordination and production management for still photography production and smaller video productions.

A semi-monthly print magazine I subscribe to is New York Spaces, published by Wainscott Media, LLC (New York, NY), “the home design magazine of metropolitan New York”.

From a personal point of view it is very enjoyable to view the photo stories about remarkable homes and spaces featured in the magazine in each issue and read the accompanying stories to learn the background of these properties and a bit about the owners.

As a location scout it is valuable to keep abreast of current design trends. I have never, so far, approached any of the owners whose properties have been featured in New York Spaces personally regarding use of their home as a location but the notion does not seem so far-fetched…. The current issue of New York Spaces features a loft in DUMBO / Brooklyn I thought might be a location from my files, the Dumbo Loft, but after comparing the photos in the magazine with the photos of the Dumbo Loft on file, while both are somewhat similar and both very attractive, it is easy to see they are two different properties.

  • BTW if you are property owner and are interested in having your home possibly used as a film / video / photo / event location, please use the “List a Location” link on our home page to read our Information For Property Owners and the rest our FAQs to learn more and if this is something you are still interested in, submit your property to us (! include photos !).

    New York Times | Lights! Camera! Action! Location Fees! | By LISA PREVOST | Published: February 16, 2003

    “LOCATION scouts in search of houses for use in television commercials often check in with Iris G. Stevens, director of the Westchester County Film Office. Ms. Stevens has a stack of photographs of 100-plus homes available as shooting sites.”

    …read more…

    I call Iris at the Westchester County Film Office all the time for ideas and for guidance regarding filming in various towns and neighborhoods under her jurisdiction.

    The Westchester County Film Office is a font of information and assistance for Westchester County; anyone that is a location scout, location manager or production coordinator that does not take advantage of Westchester Film’s service is ignoring an extremely valuable resource.

    The article continues with a short interview with Katherine Oliver, Commissioner of the New York City Mayors Office of Film, Theater and Broadcast (MOFTB), Guy Ortoleva, Executive Director of the Connecticut Film, Video and Media Office and Betty Rankin, of Betty Rankin Locations as well as anecdotes from several fellow local location scout/managers, including Gary Handel, who also happens to own Gary’s Lofts, a well-known Brooklyn filming location. (btw, Gary apparently has done so well with his loft that he has expended into several other properties in Manhattan).

  • Check out Gary’s site.

    • Even though the above mentioned newspaper article is several years old, there are a number of useful pieces of film location related info contained therein of potential interest to production personnel and local property owners alike. (Be sure and make note of the discussion regarding “the zone“)
