Locations Scout/Manager, Doc (LA)

For an independent documentary project filming in Los Angeles, CA, we're seeking a dedicated Locations Scout/Manager. We anticipate a 1-2 day shoot around the first half of October 2026. This documentary explores the underground art scene in various LA neighborhoods, capturing the raw energy and unique spaces that foster creativity. It's a visually driven piece, requiring evocative and authentic backdrops. You'll be responsible for scouting and securing diverse locations, including art studios, independent galleries, and unique urban environments, that align with the documentary's gritty, authentic tone. This involves researching potential spots, obtaining necessary permissions, and coordinating logistics for the shoot days. We're looking for someone with at least 1-2 entry-level locations credits on narrative shorts or documentaries. Experience with independent productions in Los Angeles is a big plus. While we handle some permissions, your initiative in securing releases and managing relationships with location owners is key. We offer $250/day flat, paid upon completion of work. This is an excellent opportunity to gain significant experience on a compelling project. Please send over your resume and any relevant portfolio or project examples. We're looking to fill this role quickly, so please apply by October 5, 2026.
