THE STORY OF SHOOT MY HOUSE
We believe in Beauty, we believe in connecting film makers and photographers with locations that are beautiful, easy to use, accessible and friendly. We believe in doing things better and with heart. We believe in making our clients look good – by providing astonishing locations that will wow your clients. We believe in saving you money by offering up these locations that it would take scouts weeks to cold call on their own. and we believe in doing all of this with no drama!!!
Our properties range from tiny homes to monumental villas, from stately manor houses to modern open plan masterpieces.
Our passion is in matching your brief to our spectacular spaces – but it doesn’t end there. We are with you every step of the way – from sourcing locations to being hands on in negotiating rates, sourcing basecamps, attending recces, providing on site liasons to insure that tricky locations are calmly and smoothly handled.
We’re passionate about pictures. Be they Still or Moving, and in providing the perfect “canvas” for a group of artists to tell their story.
We’re also passionate about people and the relationships we have forged between our location owners and our stills and film clients respectively. These are of enormous importance to us and we endeavor to make everyone we work with part of the Shoot My House family.
We represent formal English gardens, wine farms, ramshackle homesteads, warehouses, high end offices, modern open plan marvels, Grand Dames, Contemporary family homes, fields, dams, Jetties, public spaces, Manor houses.
You name it we’ve got it, and if we don’t we’ll do our best to find it for you!
JEANNE
An actress by profession – I have worked in many areas of film making. Assisting a casting agent led on to cast coordinating on Johannesburg TV Shoots between acting gigs and when I went to the UK landed me working for a major production company in Carnaby Street, London. Back in SA I got stuck into production for many years in Cape Town but the lure of locations was always there for me and starting Shoot my House a great way to act again and have my own business where I get to bring everything I have learned together . I love seeing how people live – and the spaces they inhabit – how they inform it and how it informs them. I love the relationships that are forged with location owner and our clients alike. What we do is all about relationships – as is everything I guess.
I’m obsessed with Architecture, product design, interior design, storytelling, my daughter, movie making, and beauty.

Relatively new to the industry, I come from a back ground in the arts.
I have been working for the past 20 years as illustrator, fine artist and facilitator of art for kids.
I Love the challenge of finding the weird and wonderful locations requested, as well as matching our fantastic locations with our clients briefs.
Happy to help and negotiate for clients on both sides.
As an artist, I love that I have a small part in a much bigger picture.
