The Film & TV Educators invited our Director & Location Manager Oliver Laurenson-Gore to participate in a panel including Location Scout Tate Pollington (credits include Snow White, Slow Horses and 3 Body Problem) and Sabrina Logan (Media Studies Teacher at Bede’s Senior School; credits include Fargo Season 3 and Legion Season 1).
They discussed for teachers in film/media and career advisers;
-
The structure and responsibilities of the Locations department in film & television
-
key skills aspiring Location Managers should develop, and how to help students acquire them
-
How Location Management could be integrated into teaching to improve student productions and career prospects
The session shone a spotlight on the vital role of Location Manager. With nearly a third of UK productions last year struggling to find Location Managers (according to ScreenSkills’ annual report), don’t miss this opportunity to find our more about jobs in this crucial department for film & television production.
