The Location Managers Guild International (LMGI) is a global collective dedicated to championing the craft of location professionals and illuminating the essential role they play in shaping the visual language of film, television, and commercial storytelling. With members working across every major production hub worldwide, the Guild brings together a roster of the industry’s most experienced and accomplished location managers and scouts. Through education, advocacy, professional development, and its renowned annual LMGI Awards, the Guild celebrates the artistry of real-world environments and strengthens the connective tissue between creatives, production teams, and the communities that host filming.

Our work also supports film offices, film commissions, government agencies, and production service companies seeking to raise their visibility and engage directly with Hollywood and international decision-makers. We specialize in curated FAM tours, tailored scouting initiatives, global networking events, targeted marketing strategies, and educational programming designed specifically for organizations and regions aiming to expand their presence within the global studio system.

These efforts empower partners to showcase their strengths to the world and to meet the expectations and demands of top-tier international production.
