SL Film Locations in the USA: Scouting the East Coast and Beyond
Key Takeaways:
SL is actively expanding its US film location portfolio, currently scouting the East Coast with a focus on high-demand production hotspots and sought-after property types.
We already represent a diverse and visually striking set of West Coast shoot locations, and are eager to connect with new film locations owners, location scouts and production teams across the States.

As one of the UK’s leading film location agencies with a growing global footprint, SL is excited to be back in the USA—this time out and about on the East Coast. Our team is currently travelling through key film production states, collaborating with location managers, property owners and production companies to secure stunning, film-ready spaces for future shoots.
Whether you’re a location owner, film location scout, or part of a production team, this is an ideal moment to connect with us as we expand our American roster.
Why the East Coast?
From New York to Georgia, the East Coast is experiencing a genuine film and TV production boom. With attractive tax incentives, well-established infrastructure and world-class talent, states like New Jersey, Florida, North Carolina and Atlanta have become major players in the entertainment industry.
SL is tapping directly into this energy. We’re currently meeting with a range of location managers, scouts and producers, identifying opportunities to support upcoming shoots and broaden our US collection with diverse, cinematic properties.
