NEW MAJOR SPONSOR - SET SPACE
ALMG is proud to announce Set Space as our guild’s new Major Sponsor and Industry Collaborator. Set Space is a digital scouting and project management platform designed for Location Managers and Scouts, Producers, Film Commissions and Production Office Staff, that’s easy to use and built in consultation with industry professionals.
“Set Space will be everything we’ve been waiting for as an integrated digital asset management tool. Location information and data are embedded into your cataloguing and yes it comes with a mapping feature with your locations pinned! Visually appealing and easy to use.”
- Jacob Livermore, Queensland based Supervising Location Manager and Co-Director of ALMG
HOW IT WORKS
Set Space is a robust system with three nested layers – locations, collections and projects – that promises to make location management simpler.
Users can view their locations on interactive maps, work together on presentations and search using AI. They can also add notes, manage contacts and choose what to share and keep private. This reimagined system allows users to take their locations from one project to the next, building a dynamic library that grows with every production.

“Set Space 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 of Set Space
