2020 Awards Committee Co-chairs Lori Balton and John
Rakich convened the fi rst of many Zoom meetings with a core
group of subcommittee chairs, PR and marketing mavens
and dedicated LMGI staff in early November 2019. Some had
worked on previous shows, others were new to the process
and excited to be part of it. All of us were passionate about
the visual mediums we had chosen as our life's work—in
movies, television, commercials—and the creative role we,
as location professionals, play in it.
"Our yearly awards show is one of the Guild's crowning
achievements," says Balton. "The September 2019 show was
a big hit. The Broad Theatre in Santa Monica was the perfect
venue for the awards presentation and the after-party. We
hoped the 2020 event would be even better."
Early on, we agreed on a theme for this year's show. "We
must use '2020 Vision!' someone suggested. It only comes
around once!" "How about 'We see it fi rst!' offered another,
"because as scouts, we actually might!"
We put them together: "2020 Vision: We See It First,"
creating a rallying cry to encourage TV and fi lm submissions
from around the world.
For the 2020 awards, we hoped to expand the subcommit-
tees in the Film, Television, Commercial and Outstanding
Film Commission categories to do more outreach, to discov-
er the international gems now available for streaming with a
click of our remotes. "We wanted lots of eyeballs watching
everything," says TV Subcommittee Co-chair Stevie Nelson.
