Have you ever found yourself in the middle of pre-production, where precious hours are wasted just searching for one crucial thing: the perfect location? Or as an actor, have you struggled to find auditions that match your potential?

We have.

Stacks of proposals, relentless phone calls, location surveys that turn up "flops", and schedule uncertainties are part of everyday life for many creators in Indonesia's visual production industry. From independent filmmakers to large production houses, the challenges remain the same: the process of searching for locations and talent is often manual, time-consuming, and inefficient.

This is where the idea for LocLock was born. Not from a cold boardroom, but from real experiences in the field.

A Problem We All Know

We have witnessed how a brilliant idea can be stalled by technical issues that should be manageable. In the film and visual content production process, we identified several recurring main obstacles:

  1. Endless Search: Finding the right location that aligns with the director's vision often feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. The process is slow and the information available is very limited.

  2. Lack of Connectivity: There is a gap between potential property owners, talented individuals, and production teams that need them. They are out there, but there is no efficient bridge connecting them.

  3. Uncertainty in the Process: The booking process, price negotiations, and unstandardized verifications often create doubts and waste more time.

We believe there must be a better way. We envision a world where creative energy is not drained by logistical issues, but instead is entirely focused on creating extraordinary works.

Solutions Born from Needs: Introducing LocLock

LocLock is our answer to all these problems. We built this digital platform with one main mission: to create an ecosystem that supports efficiency and transparency in the visual production industry.

LocLock is not just a directory. It is an integrated solution:

  • For Filmmakers and Production Houses: We provide a rich and curated location database. You can search by building categories, production themes, or even visual moods. All the detailed information, photos, and availability are at your fingertips. We made the booking process as easy, transparent, and standardized as possible.

  • For Property Owners: Our platform opens the door for you to market your property to the right target audience. Your unique house, aesthetic café, or even industrial warehouse can become a new source of income by reaching out to filmmakers who need them.

  • For Talents: LocLock is your digital stage. It's a place where you can be discovered by directors and producers looking for new faces and talents for their film or advertising projects. We help you get more job opportunities.

More than Just a Platform, This is a Community

We do not stop only at providing a platform. Our vision is larger. We want to build a community where creators, property owners, and talents can connect, collaborate, and grow together. With features like discounts for film students, location check options, and plans for mobile app development and ratings, we are committed to continuous innovation.

LocLock was founded because we believe in the power of stories. And we want to ensure that no more great stories go unfulfilled just because it is hard to find the right location or actor.

The Indonesian creative industry has limitless potential. It is time for us to move faster, smarter, and more efficiently.

Let’s create your best works.

We’ll lock it! You shoot it!
