About
From first scout to final wrap, collaboration between location managers, producers, and film commissions can make—or break—a production. This session brings together experienced LMGI members working across continents to explore how successful partnerships bridge creative, logistical, and cultural divides. Moderated by LMGI President John Rakich, the panel will share insights on navigating incentives, aligning local and global priorities, and fostering trust with film offices around the world. Discover how a shared “language” of communication, respect, and strategy empowers both sides of the production equation—and why location leadership is key to the future of international filmmaking.
