Corporate Housing for Film & TV Production Crews
Film and television productions bring large crews to specific locations for weeks or months at a time, often in cities with limited available inventory or competitive housing markets. Finding quality housing for cast and crew — quickly and at scale — requires a dedicated approach. Lanyard provides on-location workforce housing for film and TV productions, sourcing options near active sets so crews can focus on the work, not their living situation.
Housing Built for Production Schedules
Production housing needs are unique: timelines are often set weeks in advance, but crew sizes fluctuate as the shoot progresses. Availability near the set can be limited, especially in smaller markets. Lanyard supports film and TV productions by delivering housing that accommodates:
- Full crew housing for long-form productions shooting over multiple weeks
- Cast housing with appropriate privacy, space, and amenity requirements
- Flexible configurations as crew size changes through pre-production, shoot, and wrap
- On-location sourcing in primary production cities and off-the-beaten-path shoot locations
- Short episodic runs and longer multi-season production timelines
Flexibility Through Every Phase of Production
Production schedules evolve. Shoot dates shift, locations change, and crew requirements fluctuate between production phases. Housing needs to adapt without creating production delays. Lanyard offers:
- Housing aligned with pre-production, principal photography, and post timelines
- Scalable configurations as crew count changes phase to phase
- Fast sourcing when location decisions are finalized close to shoot start
- Extensions when shoots run over schedule
- Multi-city housing when productions move between locations
When shoot schedules change, we adjust housing terms to match — so production isn't delayed by housing logistics.
Housing Close to Active Job Sites
Lanyard sources housing nationwide to keep workers close to where they're needed.
End-to-End Housing Management
Managing housing across multiple workers and locations can quickly become complex. Lanyard acts as a single housing partner throughout the entire placement process.
- Creative sourcing solutions
- Furnishing and setup when needed
- Maintenance coordination
- Contract facilitation
- Streamlined, consolidated invoicing
With one point of contact and centralized oversight, housing stays organized — even as teams move or scale.
Cost-Conscious Housing
Production budgets are closely managed, and housing represents a meaningful line item. Lanyard builds housing strategies based on:
- Shoot duration and anticipated schedule buffer
- Crew size and role-based housing tiers (cast, department heads, crew)
- Proximity requirements to set, studio, or base camp
- Per-person or per-unit budget parameters
- Amenity needs for working-from-home crew members and talent
There's no one-size-fits-all package — just practical housing solutions designed around your operational reality.
