LOCATIONS

FILM DAYTON is pleased to present a locations database to better serve the needs of filmmakers looking to use the backdrop of the Miami Valley for productions. You’ll find historic mansions, rolling farms, majestic churches, urban blight, and accessible neighborhoods all within a short drive. Explore the diversity of locations available in the Miami Valley!

We are so thankful FilmDayton exists… Because of their help in securing a couple excellent locations, we were able to excel in producing a set of top-notch commercials in the Miami Valley.

KEEP IN MIND

  • Filmmakers like to see the ‘big picture,’ so think wide. Include exterior and interior images of all structures on the property.
  • For exteriors, take multiple angles of the structures / buildings including views from the street, front, side and back.
  • Include at least one shot of every room on the interior. It is helpful to stand in the corner of a room with the lens adjusted to the widest angle setting.
  • Do not include close-up or detail shots of fixtures (door knobs, fans, etc.), it’s best to get a feel for what the room looks like as a whole.
  • Include the property address and contact information (name, email address and phone number) for the owner and / or manager. For rural properties, please include basic.

Review our Location One Pager for some basic information. Please note that we provide services to a wide range of filmmakers – from students to Hollywood Studios. There is no industry standard for location fees and every project differs.
