About Müuse
Where physical productions come together.
Somewhere there's a house that's perfect for your second act and a scout who drove past it last spring and it shouldn't take luck for the two of you to meet.
Meet Melp, our muse
Müuse takes its name from the muses, the Greek goddesses of the arts. Our own muse is Melp, named for Melpomene, whose name means to celebrate with song.
Melp is curious and a little free-spirited. Ask for a bowling alley that hasn't changed since the eighties and Melp heads out across the web, coming back with places worth a look, each one linked to the page it came from. The choice is always yours.
Melp is here to help
Producers
“We need a 1970s diner by Thursday.”
Creators
“I can't film in my kitchen again.”
Scouts
“I know exactly the street you mean.”
Owners
“Happy to have you, just not on a weekend.”
Müuse is where they find each other, so the scout gets the call and the production gets the shot.
Two ways to work
Do it yourself
Search with Melp and follow any find back to where it came from. If it's listed on Müuse you can request to book it right there.
Bring in a scout
Sometimes you want someone who has already stood in the room. A local scout can check on a place, walk it for you or take on the whole location, at a rate they set themselves.
What we care about
Better together
Producers, creators, scouts and owners all do better when the others do, which is why we'd rather build the place they meet than stand between them.
Real places, real people, real things
We love what a camera finds that nobody could invent, like the light in an old ballroom at four in the afternoon or a street that's been lived on for a hundred years.
Your work stays yours
A scout's photographs and everything they know belong to the scout. When that knowledge lands a production its location, the scout should be the one who gets paid. On Müuse they are.
AI for discovery
Müuse is AI location scouting that puts people first. Our AI reads the web and the details inside a photograph so the right place turns up for the right search, then a real person, a scout or an owner, helps you lock it down. We never generate films or videos.
More film and video, made by more people, in more real places.
