Our History
ScenicFinds was founded in the heart of Hollywood in 2018 by two passionate individuals, Elena Petrova and David Chen. Elena, a seasoned film producer with over a decade of experience, recognized the critical role that location plays in the success of any film project. David, a highly skilled location manager, brought his extensive knowledge of diverse landscapes and logistical expertise to the table.
Their shared vision was to create a company that simplifies the often-challenging process of location scouting. They envisioned a platform where filmmakers, photographers, and production companies could easily access a vast library of stunning and unique locations. ScenicFinds was born out of their desire to provide a comprehensive solution that encompasses not only location discovery but also permit acquisition, location management, and logistical support.
From humble beginnings, ScenicFinds has grown into a leading location scouting service, serving clients across various industries, including film, television, advertising, and photography. Our commitment to excellence and our passion for creating memorable visual experiences have earned us a reputation as a trusted partner in the creative community.
We have successfully sourced locations for numerous award-winning films, blockbuster television series, and high-profile advertising campaigns. Our dedication to understanding our clients' unique needs and our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service have been the cornerstones of our success.
