Market Your Property Directly to Hollywood
“When you list your property for filming in Southern California with City Film Guide, you can stop giving away a percentage of your location fees to middleman agencies. List your property on the direct directory trusted by Local 399 and LMGI location professionals with 0% commission.”
The Transparent Alternative to Traditional Location Agencies
Most property owners think they need an entertainment agency or a venture-backed tech app to get their home featured in a studio production. What they don’t tell you is that these intermediaries tack on massive 30% to 40% markups, inflating production budgets and draining your potential profits.
City Film Guide breaks the agency trap. Built and operated by an award-winning Southern California location professional with over 30 years of field experience, our platform connects property owners directly with the decision-makers.
