Register Your Location

Showcase your location to film and TV productions nationwide

Reach Productions Nationwide

Location DB is a new filming location database used by production companies and location scouts nationwide. Register your location and connect with productions searching for spaces like yours.

Why Register Your Location?

National Exposure

Your location will be showcased to production companies, location scouts, and creative professionals across the country searching for their perfect filming spot.

Potential Income

Hosting film and television productions can provide a valuable income stream while supporting the creative industries.

Support the Local Industry

North Somerset sits adjacent to Bristol, home to The Bottle Yard Studios – one of the UK's leading production hubs. By registering your location, you're supporting this thriving creative economy right on our doorstep.

Smart AI Search

LocationDB uses AI to analyse your images in addition to text. If a scout searches for "red phone box" and your photos show one, you'll appear in results – even if you never mentioned it in the description. This visual search makes it easier for you to promote your space.
