South Africa's first online location service to be launched

The Cape Film Commission is planning to launch an online location service in March 2009 which will be the first of its kind in South Africa. It will hold images of public open spaces as well as private residences as supplied by recognised location agents.

The service will also hold online industry specific information about profiled locations such as images, GPS maps, rules and regulations as well as registration processes. The site user will also be able to perform various functions against the location, such as short listing and identifying the location contacts and search for a range of film locations in Cape Town and the Western Cape by selecting a region or a type from the category list.

Locations scouts are urged to forward any location images to the Cape Film Commission.
