Location managers finally have a personal database built for them
Designed to transform location scouting, Set Space is a new, dedicated online platform that elevates the role of location managers.
Until now, scouting has involved a patchwork of spreadsheets, images, maps and folders. Set Space replaces this with a single private database that facilitates the entire process.
Founders Sam Soh and James Meadowcroft came to the problem from different angles: Sam from years working in location management and at VicScreen; James from design and technology.
They joined forces to create the platform they wished existed.
After interrogating each step of the scouting process and consulting industry professionals, they created a robust system with three nested layers – locations, collections and projects – that promises to make location management simpler.
Users can upload their locations to an interactive map, collaborate on presentations, and search their library using AI. They can add notes, manage contacts, and control exactly what gets shared and what stays private. Locations carry over from one project to the next, building into a dynamic library that grows with every production.
Set Space is designed, built, and hosted in Australia, with data privacy a core priority. The platform is built for individuals first, with film commission and studio versions to follow.
It is free to get started. Paid subscriptions are available for more storage.
Set Space has partnered with the Australian Location Managers Guild (ALMG), with members receiving 30% off their subscriptions.

“Set Space will be everything we’ve been waiting for as an integrated digital asset management tool. Visually appealing and easy to use, location information and data are embedded into your cataloguing. And yes it comes with a mapping feature with your locations pinned!” Jacob Livermore, Location Manager & Australian Location Managers Guild (ALMG) Secretary
“Set Space brings together mapping, cataloguing and collaboration in a way our industry has wanted for years. The platform was born out of angst towards my own messy location library, as well as the innate feeling that with the right tools, the job of a location manager could be so much more simple, efficient and collaborative. Software doesn’t have to be hard or unpleasant to use. I believe that considered design can make our working life feel fresh, inspiring and effortless.” Sam Soh, Co-Founder
