SetJetters App Will Help You Find Your Favorite Filming Locations
As revealed to us by Expedia, Hotel.com, and Vrbo, one of the biggest travel trends of 2023 will be “set-jetting”- or booking travel after inspiration from watching some of your favorite movies or TV shows. And of course, there’s an app for that.
With the largest mobile movie scene database in the world, SetJetters is aggregating global scene locations and the film tourism community. Users can navigate to the exact location where a camera was standing in a specific scene and recreate the scene using the SetJetters ShotSync, which creates a “then and now” composite image that can be shared across the SetJetters social feed.
The concept of Film Tourism (set-jetting) was recently explained on The Today Show but you can also get up to speed on SetJetting by watching this brief video from the SetJetters team:
SetJetters is built for film tourists and Main Street. They’ve gathered film tourists on their app – bypassing Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms, so businesses can access the exact demographic they want; tourists visiting movie scenes near their business. If there isn’t a scene nearby, users can submit a scene to the database and receive credit for their contribution.
The app features an interactive map, information, and badges for over 7000 scenes from 967 films in 47 countries and 608 cities.
In addition to all that, the app has also launched its first game features, allowing users to collect a badge when they visit a scene. As they collect scenes they work their way up the leaderboards, much like Pokemon Go. Plus, brands have the ability to create their own Sponsored Collection Badges!
SetJetters was created by out-of-work filmmakers and gaming enthusiasts during Covid and launched in June 2021 in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, with three founders in Seattle, Washington. Now that the world is opening up, tourists are using the SetJetters mobile app to discover the world around them through their favorite films.
Download the app now at the App Store or on Google Play.
