Location Managers’ Guild International
The Locations Managers Guild International (LMGI) is a
professional organization of Location Managers, Location Scouts, Assistant Location
Managers, and affiliated business members, such as film commissions, location
services, vendors, and filming venues.
Founded in 2003 as the Location Managers Guild of America,
the membership voted to rename the organization as the Location Managers Guild
International in 2016 to recognize the global aspect of film-making and reflect
the growing international presence of its membership.
The LMGI is not a labor union in that it does not
represent Location Managers in wages or working conditions, leaving this
responsibility to the respective local unions such as Teamsters Local 399 in
Los Angeles, Teamsters Local 390 in Miami, and the Directors Guild of America in
New York City and Chicago. The organization has both union and non-union member
professionals.
From the
Location Managers Guild International
The Location Managers Guild International is an
organization of experienced career professionals in the motion picture,
television, commercial and print production industries.
We are dedicated to the establishment of professional
standards of personal conduct and business ethics. We support the formation of
strong links with business members, governmental agencies and local
communities. The Guild promotes awareness of the goals and achievements of our
members to the general public and within the industry through creative,
educational, and philanthropic programs.
This is done through research, scouting and photography.
The creative dimension of the location professionals’ work assumes an advanced
level of visual and aesthetic sophistication. A blend of intuition and
knowledge, especially regarding architectural design, helps us to determine
which settings best advance and enhance story and character development.
The Location Managers Guild International, founded in
2003, is a 501 (c) 6, non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion and
interests of our members and our relations with the general public, communities
and industry partners. The LMGI is not a labor union. We do not represent
Location Managers/Scouts in wage or working condition negotiations, leaving
this responsibility to our unions, including Teamsters, Local 399 in Los
Angeles and DGA in New York.
Membership
While the majority of the membership of the LMGI are based
in Los Angeles where the guild was first established, many members began
traveling to secondary production centers such as Atlanta, New Orleans, and
Vancouver with the increasing dependence of production incentives, introduced
their crews to the guild, and developed local location professional communities
who in turn were invited to become members.
Foreign membership followed the increasing recognition of
international locations such as Iceland, Jordan, and New Zealand through films
such as Interstellar, The Lord of the Rings, The Martian, and Star Wars: The
Force Awakens, and Zero Dark Thirty. The merger of the former LMGA partner
organization in the United Kingdom, Guild of Location Managers, into the Production
Guild of Great Britain, also resulted in a number of British Location Managers
seeking an organization that represented the craft exclusively.
Active Membership is limited to professional location
scouts and managers. Business Membership consists of affiliated businesses with
professional references. Link: http://locationmanagers.org/
