Our Story
Location Scout Pro was founded in 2018 by Elias Thorne, a seasoned location manager with over 20 years of experience in the film industry. Frustrated by the fragmented and often unreliable nature of location scouting, Elias envisioned a centralized platform where filmmakers could easily discover and secure the perfect locations for their projects. He started Location Scout Pro with the simple goal of connecting creativity with opportunity.
From humble beginnings operating out of a small office in Los Angeles, Location Scout Pro quickly gained traction among independent filmmakers and larger production companies alike. The platform's user-friendly interface, comprehensive location database, and dedicated support team proved to be a winning combination. Within a few years, Location Scout Pro expanded its operations to include locations worldwide, establishing partnerships with local location scouts and property owners in key filming destinations across the globe. We saw a real need to streamline the process, saving productions time and money while also highlighting the unique beauty our world has to offer.
Today, Location Scout Pro is a leading provider of location scouting services, trusted by filmmakers of all sizes. We pride ourselves on our commitment to innovation, customer service, and ethical business practices. We are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of the film industry, exploring new technologies and strategies to help our clients bring their visions to life. Our journey has been one of passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. We are more than just a location database; we are a community of filmmakers, location scouts, and property owners united by a shared love of storytelling.
Our commitment extends beyond simply providing a platform. We are dedicated to fostering sustainable and responsible filming practices, working closely with local communities to ensure that productions have a positive impact. We believe that filmmaking can be a powerful force for good, and we are proud to play a part in helping filmmakers create meaningful and impactful stories.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to our founding principles. We will continue to innovate, expand our reach, and provide the best possible service to our clients. We are excited to see what the future holds for Location Scout Pro and the film industry as a whole. Join us as we continue to explore the world, one perfect location at a time.
