Dodd Vickers/LMGI Georgia native Dodd Vickers, a seasoned location manager, has left his mark on more than 60 film and television productions, crafting iconic backdrops for hits like Cobra Kai, The Walking Dead, Prisoners, Blended, Brockmire, Den of Thieves and Jackpot. His Hollywood destiny was sealed early on when a fortune cookie at a scout lunch boldly predicted, "You will make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry." And make a name he did! After studying architecture at Georgia Tech and soaring through the skies with the Army's 24th Aviation Battalion, Dodd's Hollywood journey began by chance. When the feature film Wanderlust set up shop on his family's farm, he dove headfirst into location management, realizing he'd found his true calling. A proud member of the Television Academy and LMGI, Dodd's passion for storytelling extends to every facet of his work. When he's not shaping cinematic worlds or dreaming of tiki huts and sandy shores, Dodd resides near Atlanta with his wife, Taylor, their son, Jordan, and a few lucky rescue pets, soaking up lake life whenever he can. Lisa Scope/LMGI Sydney-based location manager Lisa Scope has been a part of the entertainment industry for over 25 years. Lisa discovered a love for location scouting and management and transitioned into the craft starting out on TVCs and then, film and television. She has scouted and managed some of Australia's most beloved dramas, including the award-winning Love Child, Packed to the Rafters, Love My Way and Rescue: Special Ops, as well as lending her expertise to a range of international productions, including The Fall Guy, Thor: Love and Thunder, Peter Rabbit 2, I Am Woman and The Daughter. Lisa's experience working with local government agencies led to roles in the New South Wales (NSW) Film and TV Office—Create NSW—working to increase Australia's location profile in the international arena and help improve professional practices. Lisa currently serves on the LMGI Board of Directors as its Secretary and is the Regional Director of the LMGI's newly formed branch, Oceania.
