Have You Ever Thought About Your Property Being Featured in a Movie, TV Show, or Commercial?
It’s a fascinating idea, isn’t it? Seeing your home, farm, or apartment featured in a scene — frozen forever on screen, part of someone’s story.
At Shoot My House, we help property owners across Cape Town and the Western Cape bring this possibility to life. Whether you own a modern penthouse, a quiet coastal villa, a suburban family home, or a rustic country estate, your space might be exactly what a filmmaker or photographer is looking for.
Why Partner with Shoot My House?
We’re not just a location agency. We’re matchmakers — connecting beautiful, functional properties with the storytellers who need them.
With years of experience working with both international and local clients, we’ve helped create backdrops for brands like Sony, Netflix, Nike, Heineken, MTV Reality, Superbalist, Weylandts, and many more. Our portfolio includes everything from big-budget commercials to feature films and editorial shoots.
But more than that, we care about your space. Our team works thoughtfully and professionally to make sure your experience is as enjoyable and effortless as possible — from the first conversation to the final pack-up.
What Makes a Great Film Location?
There’s no single answer to this question — and that’s what makes this work so exciting.
Sometimes it’s a clean, contemporary kitchen with lots of light. Other times it’s a weathered barn, a moody office, or a bold architectural statement in the suburbs. What matters is that your space has a point of view — and the flexibility to support a team at work.
Things that can make a property appealing for production:
• Ample natural light
• Clean, open spaces that allow for filming equipment
• Neutral tones or unique architectural details
• Easy access and good parking for crew and gear
But don’t worry about ticking every box. That’s what we’re here for — to assess the potential and help highlight the best features of your space.
How Does It Work?
When you list your property with Shoot My House, it becomes part of our curated library — a trusted resource for production companies, ad agencies, stylists, and directors.
Here’s what the process looks like:
1. We Visit the Property – Our team assesses its suitability, style, and strengths.
2. We Photograph and List It – High-quality images are uploaded to our database with key details.
3. Clients Browse and Match – When a project needs a space like yours, we make the introduction.
4. We Coordinate the Details – Scheduling, rates, contracts, logistics — all managed by us.
5. You Decide Your Level of Involvement – Be present during filming, or leave it in our hands.
In some cases, homeowners may even be offered alternative accommodation if a project requires uninterrupted access — a unique perk of being part of a high-profile shoot.
Why Consider Listing?
For many owners, the decision to list comes from curiosity — but the benefits go well beyond novelty.
• Earn Extra Income – Shoots can be a great way to generate supplemental revenue.
• See Your Space in a New Light – There’s something thrilling about seeing your home transformed for screen.
• Support Creative Work – Every location becomes a key part of a story being told.
• Minimal Commitment – Use your space as often or as seldom as you like. You stay in control.
