LMGI COMPASS | Fall 2024 • 23 Stevie: WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT THE JOB? BC: Movies are fictional. I pursue locations that are suitable for foundation for spaces in the fiction. To create that foundation, hypotheses are formulated, scouting is conducted, new things are learned through the scouting, assumptions are adjusted based on what is learned, and then scouting is done again. Around this time, production designer scouting typically takes place. I absolutely love the moment in the process when a story that doesn't exist in reality begins to take root and meet real locations, just like the last day of shooting 'Martini.' Stevie: WHAT ONE PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF OR SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT IN THIS PROFESSION? BC: You may find it very stressful to be a location manager for Hollywood projects in Seoul! But it's not as bad as you think! Stevie: WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE LMGI & HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER? BH: Thanks to Douglas Dresser, who is also a member of LMGI, I have learned more about location managing. I have been a member of LMGI since 2020.
