Shoot Producers can choose to work with third party Location Referrers – people who scout for locations on our behalf. These are typcially socially well-connected people who are comfortable taking about with the work we do with their contacts.
To encourage Location Referrers, we pay higher referral fees for locations that are ideal for our needs. The scale works like this;
| Name | Location Referrer fee | Example info | Invoice when? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🙂 Acceptable | €50 | A small one-bedroom apartment, on-paradigm | After first shoot |
| 😀 Ideal | €100 | larger home, 3+ bedrooms, each room dressed and on-paradigm; or, has one unique feature that is valuable to us (eg, amazing natural light; particularly on-paradigm - eg, three female uni students live there) | After second shoot |
| 🤩 Amazing | €150 | more unique locations with features like a private outdoor area, or a pool, or a gym, a farm, or similar. Commercial places that canb be used for several shoots like a yoga studio, bookstore, or similar. | After second shoot |
Location Referrers are paid by Shoot Producers, and Shoot Producers claim a reimbursement from the company on their invoice. We recommend Location Referrers only be paid once the requirements are met, as reimbursement can only be claimed then.
A Shoot Producer can only invoice the company for these expenses when the specified number of shoots has occurred (ie, once a value equal to the increased fee has been extracted).
To claim a Location Referral fee, email the Creative Director with a proposal, including;
- The MDB ID and PPCMS ID from the shoots that have occurred at this location
- The proposed Location Referral fee and any rationale
The Creative Director will discuss and approve the fees, and provide a PDB ID to be referenced on the invoice.
