ABOUT US 

Westside Locations is a boutique location agency with more than 25 years of experience, dedicated to connecting production companies with extraordinary properties for photography + film + event productions.

Over the course of a distinguished 25-year career as a Commercial Location Scout and Manager (Union 399), Chris has partnered with virtually every major location agency and commercial production company in Los Angeles. Along the way, he has collaborated with thousands of directors, producers, and location professionals, helping bring creative visions to life within some of the city’s most historic, architecturally significant, and visually iconic spaces.

For more than two decades, Chris has called the Westside of Los Angeles home - particularly Venice, a place unlike anywhere else in the world. Here, inspiration arrives with the salt-laced ocean air, drifts through the vibrant streets, and rises into the sun-warmed contours of the Santa Monica Mountains. It is a landscape in constant motion: creative, eclectic, and endlessly evolving.

Westside Locations is more than a location agency - it is a love letter to Los Angeles. A celebration of its remarkable spaces, its creative communities, and the countless productions that transform places into stories. Here, storytelling finds its setting, and extraordinary locations become part of the narrative.

OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:

We believe that every successful production begins with genuine relationships. Our mission is to cultivate lasting partnerships with both clients and homeowners, providing thoughtful guidance, exceptional locations, and creative solutions tailored to each project's unique vision.

We understand that our success is intertwined with yours. Trust is not simply given; it is earned through consistency, dedication, and care. That is why we approach every production, large or small, with unwavering professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional experience from first conversation to final wrap.

At its heart, Westside Locations is built on collaboration, trust, and a shared passion for bringing extraordinary stories to life.
