The LMGI & Lacy Street Production Center Go to the Dogs
The LMGI collaborated with
the Lacy Street Production
Center in Los Angeles on
March 10, 2024, for a dog-
friendly familiarization party
and a location professional
networking event.
Los Angeles's Lacy Street
Production Center, a 120-year-
old landmark, is now vacant
and free from prior noise
restrictions, sparking new
possibilities. Until recently,
the property had a long-
term tenant with regular
office hours that needed to
be accommodated when it
came to extended hours and
noisy filmmaking. Originally
constructed as a textile mill
for shade cloth and window
shades, Lacy Street is also
home to the oldest elevator in
Los Angeles County. For the
past 30 years, Lacy Street has
been a popular filming location
with its cinematic 1920's brick
facades, alleyways, loading
docks and rooftops. Notable
projects filmed at Lacy Street
include the feature films
Seabiscuit, Catch Me if You
Can, The Addams Family, LA
Confidential
and numerous TV
series, including the award-
winning
Cagney & Lacey.
David McKinney/LMGI,
Regional Director of the
Western United States, and
LMGI administrative manager
Erika Howard represented the
LMGI in organizing the logistics,
marketing the dog-friendly
party and helping scouts view
the property.
"Upon scouting the venue, I saw
that the venue manager had her
dog in her office and I thought
it would be a big draw if we
could include our dogs with us
on the day," said McKinney who
organized the event. "Although
the subject of the animal shelter
across the street was not
included in the invitation, a great
number of our members had got
pets from there and our event
brought people into the shelter."
There was a food truck with
fried chicken and waffles, as
well as adult beverages for the
enjoyment of all who attended.
Leashed companions joined
their humans in a relaxed
atmosphere. Members mingled
and strolled, exploring the vast
property with their furry friends
by their side. Said attendee LM
Alasdair Boyd/LMGI, "Great
space and an absolute blast
seeing friends, it was a really
great time!"
The afternoon event concluded
with enough time for attendees
to return home and enjoy the
Academy Awards ceremony
that evening.
Among others in attendance
were Phill Kane/LMGI, Flint
Maloney/LMGI, Miles Beal
Ampah/LMGI, Martin Allen/
LMGI, Daniel Rosenthal/LMGI,
Casey Boynton, Jason Wisch/
LMGI, Peter Cohn, Paul Brady,
Rob Mendel, Mikhael Griffin and
Gina Vreeland/LMGI.
