Student Series Project Collaboration Inquiry

Student Series Project Collaboration Inquiry

Hello Airbnb Team,

We are a group of student filmmakers currently working on our first independent series project. As passionate students entering filmmaking for the first time, we are looking for locations that can help bring our story to life in a creative and authentic way.

We wanted to reach out to explore whether Airbnb supports student creative projects through collaborations, sponsorships, discounted stays, or partnerships with hosts who may be open to allowing filming at their properties.

Our series is being produced on a limited student budget, but we are fully committed to maintaining professionalism, respecting property guidelines, and ensuring a safe and responsible shooting environment at all times.

We would be happy to share:

  • Series concept and details
  • Shooting schedule and duration
  • Crew size and equipment information
  • Safety and property care assurances
  • Social media mentions and credits acknowledgment

We genuinely admire the unique spaces Airbnb offers and believe they can add incredible value and realism to visual storytelling for young creators like us.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We would greatly appreciate any guidance, support, or direction you may be able to provide regarding possible collaboration opportunities.

Airbnb is used for residential accommodation rather than commercial purposes so many hosts won't consider a request for filming at their properties. @Shreyas34 

 

Airbnb wouldn't get involved in any  arrangements you want to make and hosts are very unlikely to consider requests for discounts. 

You would need to approach hosts directly and would need to offer a contract detailing how the property would be used . And provide a copy of your liability insurance @Shreyas34
