Every location has its own access hours, parking, and house rules. Losing one a week before the shoot can move the whole schedule.

Location work covers scouting, permits, parking, and load-in, and each place has its own contacts and restrictions. Storiara keeps the details for each location in one record, starting from the settings it finds in your script.

Maps and Addresses

Type an address and pick from the suggestions. The location shows on a map, and you can upload a parking map for the crew.

Availability

Record when a location is available. While you build a shoot day, the schedule sidebar shows it next to cast and crew availability.

Photos and Comments

Add scout photos to each location and leave comments on the record for your collaborators.

Spreadsheet Import

Already have a scout list in a spreadsheet? Import the CSV or Excel file, and AI helps match the columns.

How Locations Work in Storiara

When you upload a script, AI pulls the settings into the Locations page. You add the real places, addresses, and photos from there.

1
Settings From the Script
Each setting in the script becomes a location record. Find in script jumps to the scenes where it appears.
2
Add the Details
Fill in the address, photos, parking map, costs, and availability for each place.
3
Print and Call Sheets
Print the location list. Location details also carry onto each day's call sheet.
One Record Per Location
Storiara doesn't store permits or contracts, so keep those with your paperwork. It keeps the address, map, and availability where the schedule and call sheets can use them.
