Since retiring from active
location managing a few
years ago, past LMGI Vice
President Tony Salome has
found a new passion! Life
after show biz...
Sooner or later, we all deal
with what are we going to
do with our lives after we
retire. After 45 years in the
biz; fi rst an actor and then
as a location manager, LMGI
Emeritus Salome began to
plan his retirement. How
would he spend his days?
For Salome, the answer was
Tony Salome's
Second Chapter
The UK and LA holiday
gatherings were both joyous
events. The London party
followed on the heels of a
successful FOCUS Expo, so
many international members
and business partners were
able to attend and mingle. Held
at Sink Pong in Shoreditch, this
year's location extravaganza
was attended by over 180
location pros and vendors. Ten
new members and fi ve new
business partners joined us in
the best sense of the word!
Event organizer and LMGI
Board member Georgette
Turner commented, "We are
delighted with this year's
attendance. The LMGI truly
is an incredible organization.
We had members at the party
from Trinidad and Tobago,
Poland, Canada, USA, UK
and Barbados. We are so
lucky to have the support of
our wonderful suppliers and
continue to grow thanks to
the efforts of all our members
and business partners. Party
sponsors include: Autotrack,
Film Fixer, Film Floor, Location
Collective, The Movie Lot,

Exposure
Meanwhile, across the pond,
the Los Angeles LMGI holiday
fete featured fantastic jazz,
cocktails and camaraderie in
the beautiful reception lobby
of One Culver in Culver City,
across from the Sony lot. Our
administrative manager Erika
Howard reported hobnobbing
with her predecessor, Marc
Blackbird, and chatting up
LMGI co-founder and former
Board member Beth Tate,
skipping down Memory Lane
with her and member Bonnie
Sills.
One Culver is repped by our
host and business partner,
the Location Portal. Thanks to
them and co-sponsors Magic
Rentals, Reel Security and
Reel Waste!
We wish all our members near
and far a happy new year!
