What is a location manager?
A location manager finds, secures, permits, and manages the real places a production uses for film, television, commercials, events, and photo shoots.
A location manager turns a creative location need into a place a production can actually use. The job covers scouting, securing approvals, negotiating with owners, coordinating permits, planning parking, protecting neighbors, and managing the location through prep, shoot, wrap, and restoration.
The best location work is practical. A great-looking space still has to fit the schedule, budget, insurance requirements, crew footprint, parking needs, agency rules, and neighborhood impact.
