Navigating the Landscape: The Vital Role of the Locations Team in Filmmaking

Join us for an illuminating workshop that shines a spotlight on the indispensable work of location managers and their teams in the Western Australian screen industry. As part of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival 2024, this panel aims to deepen our understanding of the critical role location teams play in bringing cinematic visions to life. Hear from panellists Crystal McCallum (The Twelve, How to Please a Woman, H is for Happiness) and Amanda Dow (The Reckoning, Scrublands: Silver) as they speak on various aspects of the industry such as: 

Behind the Scenes: Explore the multifaceted responsibilities of location managers, from scouting and securing sites to coordinating logistics during production.

Collaboration and Creativity: Learn how location managers collaborate with directors, producers, and production designers to find the perfect settings for storytelling.

Challenges and Solutions: Discuss real-world challenges faced by location managers and discover innovative solutions.

This will be a great opportunity to connect with fellow filmmakers, industry professionals, and aspiring location managers. Let’s celebrate the unsung heroes who bring the magic of locations to the big screen!
