From idea to location
We find where to film it, and make it happen
Location Research & Scouting
We match the director's idea to real places — the obvious one or a better stand-in — and scout them in person, with photos, video, maps and access notes. Decades of expeditions and 150+ ESPN Adventure episodes across the Americas give us a deep library of locations and local contacts.
Tech Scouts & Permits
We run technical scouts with your department heads and handle permits and permissions — from national and provincial parks to county, state-highway and BLM approvals in Utah. Requirements change, so we confirm them for every project.
Remote Camps & Infrastructure
We plan, build and run what a shoot needs where there is nothing: base camps, power, communications, transport, helicopters, porters and catering. For Society of the Snow we ran a mountain camp for about 40 people near the crash site in the Andes.
Digital Scouting
Before anyone travels, we present locations remotely — virtual maps, GPS tracks, terrain and elevation analysis — backed by our own photo and video archive from years of expeditions and filming.
Send us the idea — the landscape, the story, the conditions you need — and we'll tell you where it can be filmed. Then we make it work on the ground: scouting, permits and access, logistics, local crew and camps, from the Andes and Patagonia to Utah, the American West and other remote corners of the world. It's how we've worked on Society of the Snow, ESPN Adventure and productions for international crews across the Americas. See all our production services →
