Locations Scout/Manager, Web Series - Montreal

Our independent web series production is seeking a dedicated and resourceful Locations Scout/Manager to join our crew in Montreal. We're developing a gritty, character-driven drama exploring urban resilience, aiming for a grounded, cinematic look. We need someone who can help us find authentic and visually compelling spaces that enhance our storytelling. This role is crucial for our upcoming project. Key responsibilities include scouting, securing, and managing diverse filming locations throughout Montreal and surrounding areas. You'll handle location agreements, ensure site readiness, coordinate logistics for cast and crew, and act as the primary contact for property owners. We're looking for someone with a sharp eye, excellent negotiation skills, and a practical understanding of production needs. Ideal candidates will have 2-3 years of experience in locations for film or web series, and a strong portfolio demonstrating their ability to find varied and production-friendly sites. Your own transportation is essential. Knowledge of Montreal's boroughs and property contacts is a big plus.
