Fall 2021
Locations
Behind the
Emmys
A special panel produced
by the LMGI convened on
August 2 to coincide with this
year's Emmy® festivities to
spotlight the role of locations
on eight of this year's Emmy-
nominated TV shows.
The lively discussion was
moderated by JJ Levine/
LMGI, 1st Vice President,
and Miguel Tapia/LMGI.
Panelists included Taylor
Boyd/LMGI (
Black-ish),
Anne Richardson/LMGI (The
Handmaid's Tale),
Jonathan
Jansen/LMGI (Perry
Mason),
Jennifer Dunne/LMGI (The
Mandalorian),
Kyle "Snappy"
Oliver/LMGI (The
Kominsky
Method),
Brian O'Neill/LMGI
(Mare
of Easttown), Duffy
Taylor/LMGI (This
Is Us) and
Drazen Baric/LMGI (The
Boys).
In addition to being Emmy
nominees,
Mare of Easttown
and
The Handmaid's Tale are
LMGI Award nominees this
year for Best Contemporary
Television, while
Perry Mason
was recognized last year,
winning the LMGI Award for
Best Period Television.
A professional comaraderie
quickly developed amongst
the panelists. The common
challenges faced by all the
location pros transcended
the miles that separated
them.

LMGI 'Home
Again' for
Comic-Con
2021
Organizers of Comic-Con
International 2021 decided
to play it safe again and go
virtual.
The wildly popular
convention for enthusiasts
of comic books, comic book
heroes and all other aspects
of popular fantasy presented
a weekend of programming
with Comic-Con@Home
series of exciting online
panels.
And for the ninth year in a
row, the LMGI was there! Our
popular "Hollywood Location
Scouts" panel shared a
behind-the-scenes look at
the shows we work on with
the enthusiastic fans who
love and support them.
Moderated by LMGI
President John Rakich (
See,
American Gods),
this year's
panel included members
from the United Kingdom,
Canada and both coasts of
the United States. Featuring
the works of Evan Chan
(
Supernatural, Legion),
Saisie Jang (Ant-Man
& the
Wasp, Hulk),
Tisha Jefferson
(Mare
of Easttown, Straight
Outta Compton),
Emma
Jane Richards (Pennyworth,
Fighting With My Family)
and Dodd Vickers (Sharp
Objects, Den of Thieves).
The
panel addressed the creative
and logistical challenges in
successfully bringing their
projects to the screen.
Thanks go to our incredible
sponsors. The generous
support of the Big Bear Lake
Film Office, Inland Empire
Film Services, Riverside
County Film Commission
and the Temecula Film
Office is an integral part
of our ongoing Comic-Con
participation.
We're already planning next
year's panel, building on the
amazing success we've had
with Comic-Con over the
years. We hope 2022 will
allow us all to celebrate in
person!
