What does a Location Manager do?

A Location Manager is one of the first crew employed on a Production and is a critical role in any film, television series or commercial. 

Our core function is to scout, find and secure locations for a shoot. This includes; negotiating the location fees, contracts, organising and arranging parking for all trucks/crew, dealing with all forms of authorities, council and government bodies, arranging the appropriate permits, organising unit bases, notifying relevant stakeholders and managing locations throughout the shooting process from start to finish.

A Location Manager is often the first person on set and the last to leave. Our priority is securing the most suitable location creatively for Production while also maintaining trust with the location owners and surrounding stakeholders, neighbours and councils.
