What is SetScout?
SetScout is a search engine and marketplace for filming locations. You find places for film, photo, advertising and events by description, reference image or script, and you can book many of them directly from their hosts.
Which locations can I find?
Our index covers 131,059 locations across Europe: places that hosts list on SetScout themselves, and publicly documented places from open sources such as OpenStreetMap.
Can I book directly through SetScout?
Yes, for locations with booking enabled. You send a request, the host confirms, and the contract and payment run through SetScout. For places from public sources, you contact the owner yourself.
What does SetScout cost?
You can sign up for free and start searching right away. Bookings through the marketplace follow the prices and terms set by each host.
How does script analysis work?
Upload your script as a PDF, DOC or TXT file. SetScout recognises the sets in your scenes and suggests matching locations in about a minute.
Can I use SetScout with ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. With our MCP connector, your AI assistant can search locations, look at their photos and manage your lists, only after you approve it and only with the permissions you grant.
Your next location is already out there.
