Help Me Find the Perfect Location

Production is complicated, your location booking shouldn’t be.

Since 2015, Painfully Hip Locations has represented distinctive, design-forward properties for film, television, fashion, retail, and commercial productions. We connect discerning producers with exceptional spaces — and help homeowners generate meaningful, well-managed passive income. We work closely with every property we represent, understanding not only its aesthetic, but how it lives and functions during production. Each location is selected for architectural presence, strong visual identity, and practical flow on set. Logistics are anticipated, expectations are aligned, details are handled.

Curated with taste. Managed with care. Ready for production.

 

Building a trusted relationship with a real-life location agency pays off in ways a one-off booking never can.

When a production company is professional, respectful of homes, and transparent in communication, we go the extra mile for you —prioritizing your requests, sharing off-market opportunities first, and often negotiating preferred rates or offering discounts when we can. Trust creates flexibility on both sides, smoother approvals, and long-term cost savings. The more we work together, the smoother things go, and the more we can advocate for your budget.

Skip the platform, hire a pro. And you’re supporting a hardworking, woman-owned small business built from the ground up.

Property owners earn truly passive income without the stress.

We manage your property so you don’t have to —coordinating shoots, negotiating terms and triple checking all the paperwork, and protecting your space—so you can relax and watch your home work for you.

Let us manage your property—no headaches, just results. Because we actually care.

All this for the same commission you’d pay for a booking platform.
