Filmmakers, photographers, influencers—they’re all hunting for the perfect backdrop. And while some have full production teams, many don’t. That’s where today’s question comes in. Jenna from Philadelphia spends her free time wandering the city, finding hidden gems that would be perfect for a moody short film, an album cover shoot, or a content creator’s next viral post. She’s wondering: could this be a real business? Could someone actually pay her to scout and suggest these locations, even if she’s not part of a formal crew? The answer is yes—but only if she approaches it like a creative service with clear value and knows how to connect with the right people. Let’s talk about how to pitch, price, and start a solo-location-scouting side hustle."Hello, this is Jenna from Philadelphia.

The problem is, I’m not part of the film industry, and I have no idea how people actually hire location scouts—let alone how to price something like this. Is there a way to do this as a one-person business without needing a bunch of industry connections?"Listen to today's episode to learn more... Yours in the revolution,
