The Idea:
Get paid by film companies who need a house in their movie, show or advertisement when you provide yours for filming.
How it Works:
Movies often need to set their stories in houses, and yours could be the one they choose! Location scouts are always on the lookout for house exteriors and interiors where directors can film and will pay to use your house as their movie set. The most important aspects of this gig are that your house is clean and you are flexible about making it available for filming. Some movie shoots take days and you have to be comfortable with crews removing all of your items into storage and bringing their gear in and out all day to make this venture a success. This isn't a steady gig, but rather something fun you can possibly use to make a little extra cash from your home while also enjoying the excitement of seeing your home in a movie, TV show or ad. Get your home listed by contacting location scouts, film studios, production companies and advertising firms. Contact your local film promotion office, who are likely to aggressively market your location to film companies, to get even more opportunities for your home to make some money.
