Our Company History
Location Scout Pro was established in 2010 with a clear vision: to revolutionize the way filmmakers and photographers discover ideal locations for their productions. Our founder, Olivia Rodriguez, a seasoned location manager with over a decade of experience in the industry, recognized a critical gap in the market. Traditional location scouting was often time-consuming, inefficient, and lacked the comprehensive resources needed to connect creatives with truly exceptional spaces.
Olivia's journey began after graduating from the prestigious UCLA Film School. She quickly immersed herself in the world of filmmaking, working on various projects, from independent shorts to major studio productions. However, she consistently faced the same challenge: finding the perfect location that aligned with the creative vision, budget, and logistical requirements of each project. She realized that many stunning and suitable locations remained undiscovered, simply because they were not easily accessible or well-represented in existing databases.
Driven by her passion for film and a desire to simplify the location scouting process, Olivia embarked on a mission to create Location Scout Pro. She envisioned a platform that would not only showcase a curated selection of high-quality locations but also provide expert location management services to guide clients through every step of the process. Her goal was to transform location scouting from a daunting task into a streamlined and enjoyable experience.
In the early years, Location Scout Pro started as a small boutique agency, focusing primarily on locations within the Los Angeles area. Olivia personally scouted and vetted each property, building strong relationships with location owners and ensuring that every listing was accurately represented. Her commitment to quality and attention to detail quickly earned Location Scout Pro a reputation for excellence within the local filmmaking community.
As the company grew, Location Scout Pro expanded its geographic reach, gradually adding locations throughout California and eventually across the United States. We invested in cutting-edge technology to develop a user-friendly online platform that allows clients to easily browse, search, and filter locations based on their specific needs. We also assembled a team of experienced location scouts, each with specialized knowledge of different regions and property types.
Today, Location Scout Pro stands as a leading location scouting agency, serving a diverse clientele that includes major film studios, independent production companies, commercial advertisers, and photographers. We remain committed to our founding principles of quality, innovation, and personalized service. We are proud to have played a role in countless successful productions, helping creatives bring their visions to life in stunning and unforgettable locations.
Looking ahead, Location Scout Pro aims to further expand its global reach, partnering with location owners and scouting agencies in key international markets. We also plan to continue investing in new technologies, such as virtual reality and drone imagery, to enhance the location scouting experience and provide our clients with even more immersive and informative previews of potential shooting locations. Our dedication to sustainability and ethical practices remains unwavering as we strive to minimize the environmental impact of our industry and support the communities in which we operate.
