FROM THE
PRESIDENT
This past year has been filled with both
challenges and triumphs, and I am immensely
proud of what we have been able to achieve
together amidst the uncertainties of 2023.
With work at a standstill, we continued
to Zoom, tour, participate on panels and
celebrate our accomplishments. Our
community has demonstrated resilience,
adaptability and a spirit of collaboration.
Your commitment to "excellence on location" has been evident in the remarkable
projects you have undertaken. From navigating complex shoots to bringing
breathtaking locations to life on screen, each of you has played a crucial role
in shaping the narrative of storytelling. The LMGI has evolved into a hub of
knowledge-sharing and support, where experienced professionals mentor the
next generation, fostering a sense of camaraderie that is truly special.
Now, as we stand at the threshold of a new year, I am filled with optimism for
what lies ahead. May the coming year bring fresh opportunities, creative
breakthroughs and continued growth for each of you.
On behalf of myself and the entire Board, I want to express my deepest gratitude
for your dedication and passion. Your enthusiasm is the driving force behind
the LMGI's success. I am confident that as the celebration of our 20th year as
a Guild comes to close, we will carry the lessons learned from the challenges of
the past into the future, knowing that together, we are capable of achieving great
things!
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a prosperous year ahead.
