Booking with Us
Can I see the location agreement before booking my shoot?
Of course! Feel free to request our location agreement and we will be happy to email it to you!
Do you use your own location agreement or would you accept ours?
Seret Studios only accepts our own location agreements. However, your legal department can make changes if needed–simply highlight the change and we will revise the document. Both parties must agree with and sign the location agreement.
Is there a form of insurance necessary to book a shoot at one of the Seret Studios locations?
Yes– A General Liability insurance with our name as an additional insured, is required before you can film in all of our locations. Each location has its own entity and we will be more than happy to provide that information to you while you are booking your shoot.
What is required before I can book a date?
We require a signed agreement, a certificate of insurance under our name as an additional insured, the booking fee and the refundable security deposit to book any one of our locations. All of these must be delivered at least 48 hours before the shoot.
Site Visits
After I book a location can I schedule additional scouts to the space?
Yes! We understand that sometimes more than one viewing is necessary to make set-up plans and we would be happy to schedule additional viewings of the space you booked. Just contact us and we schedule you in.
How do I schedule a site visit to the space?
It’s easy! Just contact us by email ( [email protected] ) or by telephone ( 718-618-6718 ) and we would be happy to coordinate a site visit with you!
Payments
Can I wire my payment?
Yes, you may wire your payment.
How long it takes to get the security deposit back?
If the payment is made by check, we suggest there be 2 checks written: one for the booking fee and another for the refundable security deposit. That way the refundable security deposit can be returned by the end of the day or the end of the day following the shoot. If the payment and the security deposit is one check, it can take up to 30 days to be returned to your company. This is also the same with money wiring.
