Join Us NowMeet Lori Balton
Co-Founder of The Location Lounge
After 35 years of scouting locations and working with the world's top directors, I've learned that nothing replaces the expertise of film commission professionals. You've been invaluable partners in helping me find the perfect locations for countless productions. That's why I co-founded Location Lounge. It's not just another platform—it's a tool designed to preserve and enhance the vital relationships between location professionals and film commissions while solving a critical challenge we all face: connecting the right productions with the right locations at the right time. It's like a 24/7 location trade show where filmmakers searching for locations can discover your region, even if they hadn't initially considered it. It's about expanding horizons for both sides—helping scouts and filmmakers look beyond their assumptions while giving film commissions like yours the opportunity to be in the room when decisions are being made. We're in pre-launch phase, and I'm personally inviting you to join us.
