Stevie: WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE JOB?
AN: The people that I meet every day as I scout
new locations—it feeds my soul. I also love
this wonderful creative piece of the production
puzzle! You can't tell a story without a great
location! And many times, the location becomes
a character itself.
Stevie: WHAT ONE PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE
YOUR YOUNGER SELF OR SOMEONE JUST STARTING
OUT IN THIS PROFESSION?
AN: Take the time to listen and learn what all
departments need in a production so you can
tailor your work to make the rest of the project
better.
Stevie: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE LMGI &
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER?
AN: My colleague, Chris Kucharski, introduced
me to the Guild. I joined four years ago. Okla-
homa does not have a proper union for loca-
tion managers. The LMGI provides a profes-
sional organization that supports my work.
