About Location Scout

Our Story

Location Scout was founded in 2010 by Eleanor Vance, a seasoned film producer who recognized the immense challenges of finding suitable and inspiring locations for film and photography projects. Frustrated by the time-consuming and often fruitless searches, Eleanor envisioned a centralized platform that would connect filmmakers, photographers, event planners, and other creatives with a diverse portfolio of unique and readily available locations. What started as a small side project quickly evolved into a thriving business, driven by a passion for creativity and a commitment to streamlining the location scouting process.

In the early years, Location Scout focused primarily on locations within the greater Los Angeles area. Eleanor personally scouted and curated a collection of hidden gems, from abandoned warehouses and retro diners to sprawling mansions and scenic landscapes. Word of mouth spread quickly, and Location Scout soon became the go-to resource for independent filmmakers and photographers seeking distinctive and budget-friendly locations. As the company grew, Eleanor assembled a dedicated team of location specialists, each with their own unique expertise and regional focus.

Today, Location Scout boasts an extensive database of thousands of locations spanning across the United States and beyond. Our reach extends to urban centers, rural landscapes, coastal regions, and even international destinations. We have worked with major film studios, television networks, advertising agencies, event planning companies, and countless independent creators. Our commitment to providing exceptional service and unparalleled location options remains at the heart of everything we do.
