List your property as a potential filming location
Want to see how a film is made — or have your property considered for a production? Screen Nova Scotia’s Starring Your Property program lets homeowners and businesses add their property to a provincial locations database. Productions looking for locations may contact property owners through that database.
Screen Nova Scotia accepts many types of properties: warehouses, condos, new homes, farmhouses and more. Listing is free. If a producer is interested, they will contact you about next steps.
Local benefits
Film productions bring money to local businesses such as dry cleaners, caterers, building suppliers and hotels. For example, the TV series Haven contributed more than $50 million directly to Nova Scotia’s economy over five seasons and helped promote the South Shore as a filming and tourism destination.
