The live chat started before the pre-show, even before the
title sequence exploded onto computer and phone screens
around the globe announcing that the 7th Annual Location
Guild International Awards 2020 show was on!
Behind the scenes, there was a huge sigh of relief—it had
been a long road getting here. Months earlier, those planning
this October event had been caught off guard, like everyone
else, by the pandemic and subsequent lockdown.
And now, people were actually logging on to watch the event
that celebrates the creative work of location professionals
from all over the world. Viewers were excited—reaching out
and engaging with one another!

rolled out a Virtual Red Carpet and
put on a show like never before…
