Hollywood studio execs – including James Lin, Universal Pictures SVP physical production, Legendary TV’s Lily Tammy and Robert Ortiz, Paramount SVP, production – met with international location managers, scouts, and line producers and film commission reps at this year’s Shooting Locations Marketplace in Spain’s Valladolid.
Among location managers, event ambassador Lori Balton was joined by William Doyle (“Mank”) Mika Saito (“Tenet”) Michael Glaser (“Inception”) Les Fincher (“Over the Brooklyn Bridge”) John Hutchinson (“White Noise”) and John Rakich (“See”).
David Williams Jeffrey Shepherd and Sandra Solares (“Point Break”) also attended.
Strategically timed just before the Seminci Valladolid Film Festival, the boutique Marketplace is a unique event structured around the decision makers in choosing locations. A record 69 studio execs and location managers sat at booths with an agreed-to appointments schedule of meetings with film commissioners, production service providers and companies – such as hotels chains – coming to them to pitch their offers.
