How can I search for the right locations?
Filmplace will eventually have hosts that share their spaces in 190 countries and more than 34,000 cities. All you have to do is enter your destination and filming dates into the search bar to discover distinctive places to stay, anywhere in the world.
Tools that help you search
We display photos of listings, host profiles, and reviews to help you make informed decisions when considering a host's space. We've also created search filters so you can narrow your results by property type, price, and location. For example, if you’re looking to just film in a selected room or certain part of the venue, you may select Private Room or Public Space. Or if you’re looking to film with an entire space, go ahead and select the Entire Place filter.
Contacting hosts to make your reservation
Once you have completed your profile and filled in your personal information, you would be able to request to book a host's venue by clicking the Contact Host or Request to Book buttons, or you can use Instant Book to confirm your booking without having to wait for a host's approval.
Syncing Filmplace calendar with other calendars
By syncing your Filmplace calendar with other external calendars that support the iCAL format, you can transfer your events from a different calendar application to Filmplace calendar which automatically prevents guests from booking the same date and time.
This also helps to avoid multiple content creators from booking the same date and time, if you have listed the same space on other platforms like Airbnb, etc.
Importing Calendar
To sync your external calendar with Filmplace calendar, you have to first import other calendars that support the iCAL format.
Give a name to the calendar you are about to import.
Note : You Filmplace calendar automatically resyncs with other external calendars every one hour
