Location Manager
The person who often leads the negotiations to secure a location for filming and is responsible for the location’s budget. They make sure that all the required permits and paperwork are submitted, with approvals in place. On production days, they are usually first on-site and last to leave, unless they have support from a Location Assistant. If filming is happening in multiple locations on one day, they often advance to the next location to make sure everything is ready for the crew’s arrival.
