What types of shoots take place in St. John's?
Feature films, television series, commercials, music videos, and photo shoots all request locations in St. John's. Most residential shoots last one to five days, and each request specifies the project, its duration, and the crew size so you can choose freely.
How much can I earn renting my place in St. John's?
A residence typically earns $500 to $2,000 per shoot day, a commercial space $1,500 to $5,000, and an exceptional venue $8,000 and up. The amount depends on the space, the production, and the duration.
Do I have to be present during the shoot?
That is your choice. Some owners stay on site the whole time, others simply hand over access for the day. Every booking is governed by a signed contract that sets out each party's responsibilities, and you set the house rules before anyone arrives.
Who insures the space during a shoot?
Locloc does not provide insurance. Your own home insurance remains your primary coverage. Before accepting a booking, you can require proof of the production's liability insurance and a security deposit, and the signed contract sets out each party's responsibilities.
