LOCATION
Film Nevada’s locations database connects productions with film-friendly places throughout the state.
If you think you have the perfect home, office building, warehouse, restaurant, hotel, desert land or other property, submit your location listing and it could be seen on the big or small screen. Film Nevada is always seeking new properties to add to our online location library.
Your location could be featured in a film, TV show, commercial, music video, documentary or still photo shoot. You could earn location fees, exposure, and additional customers to your business when featured in a high-profile production.
How to list your property
Before submitting your location, please review the requirements and tips below. For examples of a complete listing, including the types of photos to submit, view these sample galleries for houses and businesses.
- Include a minimum of 5-8 images that showcase the property. The goal is to give filmmakers a sense of the whole property – landscape, wide-angle shots work well; avoid close-ups.
- Images should be clear, well-lit, and feature various aspects of the property – exterior, interior, different rooms, unique features, etc.
- Images should not include people, pets, or anything inappropriate in nature. Small-resolution (thumbnails) or photos of photos will not be accepted. Acceptable file types include jpeg, heic, or png files.
- Include a clear description of your property. Identify what spaces are available for filming. Aspects relevant to filmmakers, such as parking availability, property access, or power access, including any usage restrictions.

Doing business with film, television and other productions can become very involved. There are many factors to be considered, including permitting, parking, safety, liability, location fees and contracts. Initial contact is usually made by a location manager hired by the production company and they may come to scout your property before deciding to film there.
Here are some questions to consider when allowing filming on your property:
What type of production is it?
What is the proposed filming activity?
What is the name of the production company and title of production?
Who is the contact person at the production company?
How many shoot days? Shoot hours? Prep or wrap days?
How many crew and cast members?
How many and what types of vehicles will need to park nearby?
Do they have liability insurance?
These questions should be answered in writing in the form of a location agreement between the production and the property owner.
What should I charge as a location fee?
The location fee is negotiated between you and the production. There are several factors that can determine what you can charge as location fees. You should consider the costs of utilities, extra staffing/security needed, and any lost business if you are a business owner.
Productions can range from low budget indie films to popular network TV series or large studio features. We recommend developing a sliding fee scale that takes into consideration varying crew sizes and production budgets.
