Greetings from Marc Hlavaty Location Scout & Manager, also known to many as Greater Palms Springs Film Office and Locations, a non-governmental service provider.

As a Teamster Local 399 location scout and manager (my CREDITS here) who has specialized in the Coachella Valley, Greater Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Idyllwild Mountains, Inland Empire, Salton Sea, Ocotillo Wells and Mojave Desert areas of Southern California for over two decades, I help find for you the best film spots, vetted crew and vendors in this region. My rates (union and non-union) are reasonable. I work hard to find the look you need. And since I'm NOT a location service or rep, I get paid directly by the production for location work, not the property. The photos on my site are of locations I've scouted in the past and/or may be willing to allow filming in the future.

I have been chair of Sheri Davis' Original Greater Palm Springs Film Alliance and Film Office for over 5 years and I'm happy to work with Dan Taylor, Sheri Davis and Linda Kai-Gorman of Inland Empire Film Services and the Riverside County Film Commission.
