What if your house was used as a film set?
The Bureau des Filmings, which collaborates with film industry professionals from all over the world, is looking for exceptional properties in the city of Toulouse to serve as sets for new films, series or clips. Why not yours?
Light, camera, action. the Filming Office de Toulouse Métropole offers you the opportunity to travel to Hollywood, while staying at home. The Toulouse agency, which has been collaborating since 2016 with professionals from the film and audiovisual industry at the international level, is at the search for new original decorations in the 37 municipalities of the metropolis of Toulouse.
Houses, castles, unusual apartments, natural spaces, mansions, cellars, farmhouses, industrial hangars… All owners of “places likely to host a filming of films, clips or television series”, are called upon to apply, underline the agency.
How to apply?
The Filming Office has set up a dedicated digital space on the website of the Toulouse tourist office. A link provides easy access to the form entitled “suggest a decor”.
Here, authorized persons are invited to fill in the name of the decor, indicate whether it is public or private, then add at least three representative shots. The address of the property must also be mentioned and its area indicated. Finally, a “descriptive” space allows you to add some detailed information about the place.
Cooperation with the town halls of the Toulouse metropolitan area
The approach is carried out in “cooperation with the 37 municipalities of the metropolis”, explains the Bureau des Filmings, which adds that it has contacted the town halls concerned so that they encourage individuals to offer their properties for rent.
“The number of film shoots is constantly increasing in the Toulouse basin, which hosted 215 projects in 2021”, insists the agency. Among them: “The course of life”, directed by Frédéric Sojcher, with Agnès Jaoui, Jonathan Zaccaï and Géraldine Nakache, or even an advertisement for a famous car manufacturer. “These productions ensure the influence of the metropolis and the delivering significant direct savings to the territory : expenditure on catering, hotels, technical services, rental of sets, vehicles, equipment, local recruitment of technicians, actors and extras…”, concludes the Office of Filming.
