Known for his work on such projects as Ghost in the Shell and The Revenant, Location Manager Douglas Dresser is soon to make waves again with his latest project, Baby Driver. Directed by Edgar Wright, the film about a young getaway driver suffering from tinnitus required an extensive shoot in Atlanta last year.
In the last fifteen years, Argentina has become a favourite destination for commercials, photo shoots and feature films. It is renowned for its ability to offer a wide range of locations, as depicted in films and television shows that have shot in the country in recent years.
The nominations for the 4th annual Location Managers Guild International Awards have been announced. The ceremony will take place, April 8th at the Steven J. Ross Theatre, located at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.
After receiving three Academy Awards and three Golden Globes, The Revenant’s incredibly successful awards period continued this weekend at the Location Managers Guild International Awards, taking home the award for Outstanding Locations in a Period Film. Portions of the film were shot on location in Alberta, Canada but the production later moved to Tierra del Fuego in search of more snow.
The Location Managers Guild International Awards show has announced its full list of nominees. This year's award ceremony will be the first since LMGI’s rebranding in 2015 and will feature a vast array of productions across all the screen industries.
After being nominated on six separate occasions, Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first Oscar for his portrayal of Hugh Glass in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s survival epic The Revenant, which was filmed on location in Alberta and Tierra del Fuego.
A new TV drama based on the comic book character Wynonna Earp is set to film on location in Calgary. The Alberta city is currently best-known for the TV version of crime drama Fargo, which has filmed two seasons locally.
