The Location Guide is the definitive resource for global location filming

We provide the international film community with three essential preproduction resources that help with planning overseas location shoots.

All three resources are used by production professionals working in Feature Films, Television Dramas, Documentaries, TV Commercials, Music Videos, Promos, Corporate Films and Stills production.


The Location Guide
The Essential Guide For Location Filming Worldwide

First published in 1998, the Location Guide has been relaunched this year. It has been completely redesigned and has gone from an A5 to an A4 format to make best use of the thousands of location images included and the essential information for over 160 countries, states and provinces.

Each of the 160 editorial sections covers local equipment and crew levels as well as rules and regulations for bringing in additional resources, location highlights, climate details, financial incentive information and comments from industry figures. Two new key elements are our essential facts box and the key costs box which allows you to quickly compare costs for all regions featured.

The guide also contains details of over 2,000 government contacts, production service companies, studios and lab facilities. Each company listing features full contact details, trading history and most recent productions.
