Our Story
Reel Scout began with a vision: to simplify and elevate the location scouting process for filmmakers and video producers. Founded in 2018 by Anya Petrova, a seasoned location manager with over 15 years of experience, Reel Scout emerged from a deep understanding of the challenges and complexities inherent in finding the ideal filming locations. Anya recognized that while numerous stunning locations existed, connecting them efficiently with the right creative projects was a significant hurdle.
Prior to founding Reel Scout, Anya worked on a variety of high-profile productions, ranging from independent films to major studio releases and network television series. She consistently encountered inefficiencies in the traditional location scouting methods, often involving time-consuming searches, fragmented communication, and a lack of comprehensive location data. This sparked the idea for a more streamlined and technology-driven approach, leveraging digital databases and expert scouting networks to provide unparalleled access to diverse and unique locations.
From its humble beginnings in a small Los Angeles office, Reel Scout quickly gained traction within the industry, attracting a team of passionate and skilled location scouts, photographers, and logistics experts. The company's initial success was built on a commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and a relentless pursuit of the perfect match between location and project. As Reel Scout's reputation grew, so did its network of locations, expanding from California to encompass national and international destinations.
Today, Reel Scout is a leading name in location scouting, renowned for its comprehensive database, innovative technology, and unwavering dedication to client satisfaction. We have facilitated countless successful productions, helping filmmakers and video producers bring their creative visions to life in stunning and memorable settings. Our core values remain rooted in the principles of integrity, collaboration, and a genuine passion for the art of filmmaking.
