Get answers about film locations.

A place to list homes, businesses and buildings for film and TV shoots, and for productions to find, scout and book them. Revolution handles the agreement, the insurance certificate and the payment.

Every booking follows the same steps:

1. The owner lists the place with photos, a day rate and house rules.
2. A production asks for dates, often after a scout.
3. The owner accepts, declines or sends back a different price.
4. The production signs the agreement and sends its insurance certificate.
5. The shoot happens, and the owner is paid to their bank account.

Listing, searching and scouting are free. On a confirmed booking, Revolution keeps 10% of the owner's rate and adds a 10% fee for the production, shown on the quote.

Locations is opening city by city. Owners can list anywhere now, and productions can sign up to hear when listings are live where they shoot.

It depends on where you are, the kind of place and its size. A 2,000–3,500 sq ft house in Atlanta lists at about $1,125–$1,875 a day. The estimate box on the Location Owners page gives you the figure the app would for your address.

Houses, apartments, storefronts, restaurants, offices, warehouses, farms, churches and event spaces. If a scene could be set there, it can be listed.

No. You see the dates, crew size and rooms before you answer. Accept, decline, or send back a different price.

The production's insurance. You're named on its certificate, and we work the claim with you, starting from the photos taken at load-in.

A location manager and a few department heads walk through the place, usually for under an hour. You pick the time.

No. Stay in, go out for the day, or leave a friend there. The location manager is on site the whole time and is who you call. For a long shoot you can ask the production to cover a hotel.

Often, yes. The set dressers may move or swap furniture and art to suit the story. They photograph each room first and put everything back before they leave. Anything you don't want touched goes in your house rules.

The location team tells them before the shoot, with the dates, hours and parking plan, and many film offices require it. Your wrap time is in the agreement.

You say on the listing what's allowed: the driveway, the street in front, or nothing. Big trucks and crew usually park at a nearby lot and shuttle in, under the production's permit.

To your bank account, once the production pays for the booking. Your statement shows the day rate, any extra days and our 10%.

Send your W-9 once. All your bookings for the year go on one 1099.

Yes, with the owner's permission. You manage the listing, and the owner or board can sign off on each request.

Add properties one at a time in the app, or send us a spreadsheet and we set them up for you to check.

No subscription. Bookings we bring you carry a 10% commission. Bookings you bring yourself carry none.

You get one statement with each property on its own line, so you settle with owners under your existing agreements.

Notice periods, elevator use, quiet hours and access windows go on the listing and into the agreement.

Both the owner and your company are named on the production's certificate.

The first to hold it gets first position. A second production can hold behind it and moves up if the first lets its hold lapse.

Homes, apartments, storefronts, restaurants, offices, warehouses, farms, churches and venues.

Yes. Every place on Revolution was listed by its owner or manager so it could be filmed.

Ask for a time in the app and the owner confirms it. Scouting is free.

A first-position hold blocks other bookings for its window. Turn it into a booking or let it lapse.

Your usual general liability, with the owner named as additional insured. Attach your COI once and it goes on each booking.

No. You pay Revolution, so accounting doesn't set up every homeowner as a vendor.

We send you similar places nearby.

You do, with the local film office. We tell you which office covers the address.

Homes and apartments listed for cast and crew to sleep in while they work on a production nearby. An owner can list a place for filming, for stays, or both.

The production, for the actors and crew it is putting up near set.

The owner sets a price per night, and can add a week or month price. We suggest a nightly figure from similar places. The owner also sets the shortest stay and how many people can sleep there.

Listings can say whether the place has a private entrance, whether windows are overlooked, what security there is, whether there are indoor cameras and who else has access. That information goes to the production, not on the public listing.

The same as on a shoot: 10% of the owner's price, and a 10% fee for the production.
