Southern hospitality was
on full display at the LMGI
co-sponsored gathering
of members, their guests,
vendors and friends at an
in-person holiday party
on December 17, 2022—a
Georgia tradition that
had been put on hold for
the past few years due to
COVID.
Kelsii Dyer of Giggster
Concierge also helped find
and fund the cost of the
venue at Ohio River South.
More than 200 people
packed the restored space
in an historic hotel located
in the newly re-envisioned
Mitchell Street District near
Mercedes Benz Stadium.
"I really want to recognize
Andrew Goss, Lia Tower,
Rush Eyler and Lisa
Reisman for helping to
pull off the event," said
LMGI Board member Mac
Gordon. "This would not
have been possible without
them, and their efforts are
deeply appreciated."
"It was so great for so many
location professionals to
come together," said Tower.
"I got to see so many of
my favorite colleagues
and people that I haven't
in some time. I also got to
meet some that I only knew
from years of phone calls!
It's amazing how much the
Atlanta location community
has grown and it's always
nice to see everyone all
dressed up! We clean up
nice!"
Added Goss, "Having so
many people from our
community in one place
was amazing. It was great
to finally put a face with a
name as well."
Special guest Guild
President John Rakich
attended for the first time
and was able to meet and
mingle with local members.
Numerous vendors donated
gifts for a raffle of some 30
items.
"It was great to have
everyone get together after
the COVID restrictions,"
said Neil Halloway of Herc
Entertainment Services.
"I'm incredibly grateful for
the opportunity to work
with such a high caliber of
professionals every day."
The party's success reflects
the optimism of the Georgia
location professionals and
their community—thrilled
to be able to reconnect
with each other and looking
forward to a brighter future
for production everywhere.
