CONTRIBUTORS
Ines Glaser
Ines Glaser is the chef and
owner of Lupa Cotta, a culinary
studio in Los Angeles. She grew
up internationally as a Third
Culture Kid and has spent
her career chasing good food
across the map. Before the
kitchen, she worked in film and
television production, including
time on
Survivor which took
her across Central America,
Asia and the South Pacific. She
writes
Pizza Tourist, a Substack
(online platform) newsletter on
dough culture and food travel.
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.
Albert Chi/LMGI
Albert Chi began his career
producing music videos with
Paul Thomas Anderson and
co-produced feature films
The Master, Inherent Vice and
Gemini.
He served as LM on nonunion
feature films until joining the
Hollywood Teamsters 399 in
2017. Since then, he has served
as a KALM on the feature films
Fast & Furious 9, Fast X and the
TV series
The Offer, American
Gigolo, Loot
and Paradise.
He lives in California and enjoys
spending time with his family
and announcing play by play for
local college football and little
league baseball games.
Rachel Llewellyn
Rachel Llewellyn is a media
journalist, editor and corporate
writer from Bakersfield,
California—home of Jack
Nicholson's freeway piano
performance in
Five Easy
Pieces
and near the site of the
iconic plane chase in
North by
Northwest.
She's written about
arts and culture since college,
when she got hooked on movie
production after visiting a
Tremors exhibit at the Museum
of Western Film History. She's
written for
Girlfriends and Curve
magazines, worked as a news
producer, and is currently ghost-
editing novels, copywriting for
C-suiters, and contributing to
Book & Film Globe.
