Questions we
are often asked

What happens when you get an enquiry?

You will receive a notification via email to log into your portal to respond. The message from the potential booker will show dates, timings and other details such as the production’s Public Liability Insurance – which is a requirement for all productions using Film Locations.

Once you have agreed a fee and all details for the shoot, the booker can proceed with making a booking request. You can then accept or decline the booking. Accepting will invite the booker to pay the agreed fee directly into your account.

Once the client has paid you will be notified and the funds usually transfer into your dedicated bank account within 5-10 days.

When will I get paid for my booking?

When you have agreed with the client the price and details of the shoot the production can request to book your location. Check all the details are correct and confirm.

The booker will then check the details and pay by credit card into your dedicated bank account, this usually take 5-10 working days to reach your account from the day of payment. Please note there is an administrative fee that helps us run the platform.
