TORONTO, July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Set Scouter has expanded its services into Los Angeles by acquiring LA-based Wrapal.com, creating the largest marketplace of film locations in North America.

Set Scouter's platform – now home to all of Wrapal's listings – makes the process of scouting for and booking film-friendly spaces incredibly simple for TV, commercial, and branded productions.

Simplifying production is our obsession...By combining Wrapal’s west coast knowledge base and partnerships with our expertise and technology, we are giving production companies and agencies a standardized way to scout locations from coast-to-coast.

Set Scouter facilitates the entire process of booking a location for production companies, brands, agencies and individual creatives – driving demand across the continent. Los Angeles is the latest city to join, which include thousands of listings in Toronto, New York, Miami, Chicago, and more.

Both Set Scouter and Wrapal.com have become known as the 'Airbnb of film locations' – with Set Scouter targeting the Canadian and broader American film markets, while Wrapal focused on the industry in Los Angeles.

"Simplifying production is our obsession,'' states Alex Kolodkin, CEO and co-founder of Set Scouter. "By combining Wrapal's west coast knowledge base and partnerships with our expertise and technology, we are giving production companies and agencies a standardized way to scout locations from coast-to-coast". Producers can search and book an inventory of thousands of film locations in major cities, while location owners can list their spaces for free on Set Scouter knowing that thousands of top brands, music videos, and film productions are scouting online.

The freshly consolidated catalog will offer the same features users have come to expect from both platforms. "This acquisition means more choices – and a much more streamlined and effective location scouting process", notes Wrapal CEO, Brian L. Tan "BLT". "Both platforms were built by filmmakers for filmmakers, and now that we've joined forces I'm looking forward to revolutionizing the production industry together".

"This is a landmark moment in location scouting," says Scriptation founder and CEO, Steven Vitolo. "By expanding its inventory to include Wrapal's unrivaled database of west coast locations, Set Scouter is poised to continue disrupting an industry that so badly needs it. With so many properties now available on one platform, the production community is the real winner."

A Streamlined Location Scouting Experience with Set Scouter
Set Scouter is the easiest way to search for unique film-friendly residential homes, while also providing producers, brands and creatives peace of mind when booking a location with secure payments, direct email communication with homeowners, trusted customer service and more. Scouting locations is safe and easy – producers simply search using criteria including price range, location and space type, then message owners to discuss production details and budget.

Bookings are made directly through the site to lock in the date and location, while Set Scouter takes care of payments, overtime fees, security deposits, and organizing insurance certificates, allowing the production unit to focus solely on their creative vision.

Proprietary technology keeps the Set Scouter supply growing, so producers will never exhaust their location options. Turnaround on finding and securing locations is often less than one day, making Set Scouter a location scouting service producers can rely on to get the job done right, every time.

Benson Quach, Production Manager at Wong Fu Productions says, "Wrapal has been a great resource and I'm super excited to see them join Set Scouter. Combining these tools and location databases will help producers work through the scouting process more quickly and efficiently."

Make Money on Your Home
Set Scouter is one of the easiest ways homeowners can make additional income from their property while ensuring they are protected, safe, and secure when renting their personal spaces. Giving homeowners complete control over their space, prices are set by the property owner and can be further negotiated directly with the production team.

"I'm excited to see Wrapal and Set Scouter grow with this new acquisition" says Natalie Metzger, Award Winning Filmmaker and LA homeowner. "Wrapal turned my house into an income-maker without the hassle of running an Airbnb. I hope that Set Scouter becomes available in all filming areas throughout the country."
