[DCG1] [FL2] •Filmmakers like to see the ‘big picture,’ so think wide-angle and panoramic shots.Landscape-oriented shots are better than portrait-oriented shots. We cannotaccept close-up shots or those that focus on people, animals, or events.
•Include photos of all structures on your property to showcase everything thelocation has to offer. Include multiple shots of interiors and exteriors andunique features of the property even if they aren’t "aesthetically pleasing." It could be exactly what aproduction is searching for!
• Try to include at least one shot ofeach interior room. It may be helpful to stand in the corner of a room with thelens adjusted to the widest angle setting or using the panorama feature on asmartphone.
• Take photos during the day for the best lighting. When photographinginteriors, turn on lights and open curtains to help brighten up photos. Dark,out-of-focus, or outdated photos cannot be accepted.
• We cannot accept low-resolution (thumbnail) photos or "photos ofphotos." Modern smartphone photo resolution is more than acceptable.

Once your photos are reviewed andapproved internally, they will be added to our secure locations database.Approved photos will be made available for viewing by media industryprofessionals seeking locations in Puerto Rico for their projects.
Please note that while we will do everythingpossible to promote your property to industry professionals, we cannotguarantee that your property will be selected as a production location.
If a production company is interestedin your property, they will generally first make contact through a LocationScout or Location Manager hired by the production team. If you arecontacted, it will likely be to schedule a preliminary location scout. Thisvisit does not obligate either party—it’s simply a visit to assess whether yourproperty could be a good fit for the project.
If your property is ultimately selectedfor filming, there are three important things to keep in mind:
1. The productioncompany will make an offer for compensation based on how long they need accessto your property and how much budget they have allocated.
2. From student films toindependent features to studio television series, each project varies in sizeand scope. There is no industry standard for location fees and pricing, as eachproject has different budgets for locations.
3. Industry standardsand best practices encourage securing a written location agreement between theproduction company and the property owner, outlining the agreed-upon dates,rates, and terms of use for any production activity. A location agreement willtypically be provided by the production company to be thoroughly reviewed bythe property owner.
4. Industry standardsalso encourage working with projects that have production insurancepolicies in place. Production insurance protects filmmakers, productioncompanies, and property owners supplying locations for production purposes.
All terms and conditions for location use, rates, etc., are negotiated directlybetween the production company and the property owner—not the Puerto RicoFilm Commission.
If you have any questions about on-locationproduction, the PuertoRico Film Commission staff is here to help you understandindustry standards and best practices. We can also verify our workingrelationships with various parties, if requested. Please contact us and ask tospeak with a member of our locations personnel for any additional questions youmay have.
