Your family, in the background of a scene
Everyone in one shot, on a real set, in a film that goes out to strangers.
Put them in a sceneIn-film placements

A line of dialogue. Your face on a character. Your home as a location. Buy a way into a film that is actually being made — or say what you want, and let filmmakers bid for it.
Dream big. The movies are yours.
Somebody you love, on screen, in something that actually gets made.
A character built to look like your friend
Not a cameo they blink and miss. A face on screen that everyone recognises.

Why it is worth doing
It is really you, in a real film
Not a certificate or a thank-you in the credits. A line somebody says, a character built to look like you, your street in the background of a scene.
You are paid back if it does not happen
Accepting commits the filmmaker to putting it in the finished film. If a cut takes it out, they reverse it and you get every penny back — there is no consolation reel.
Nothing leaves your card until they say yes
You pay a deposit to be considered. The rest is only charged if the filmmaker accepts, and a decline refunds the deposit in full with a reason you can read.
The promise is in numbers
Two scenes, one line, fifteen seconds on screen. Whatever they promise is frozen the moment you pay, so editing the listing later cannot change your deal.
Money goes to the film
Placements fund the production directly. The filmmaker is paid after a short hold, and you are buying a thing rather than making a donation.
Or let them come to you
Open a request saying what you want and what you will pay, and filmmakers bid for it. You pick the film, not the other way round.
How it works
- 1
Say what you want
Pick a kind of placement and a budget range, or buy something a filmmaker has already listed.
- 2
A filmmaker says yes
They bid, or they accept your submission. Only then is the rest of the money charged.
- 3
You are in the film — or refunded
They mark it placed when it is in the cut. If it does not make the film, they reverse it and you get everything back.
