Background

About Christopher Rojas

The location manager is a member of the television & film crew and also the face of the production to the community by addressing the issues that may arise due to the production's impact on the community. Location managers are responsible for finding and securing a location such as Residential, Ranches to commercial spaces and to obtain all needed fire, police and other governmental permits that are logistically necessary for the production to adequately work on location. Location mangers need to be aware before submitting a location for approval of fees and budgetary restrictions of the production, local permitting costs and regulations, camera and lighting requirements, convenience to other locations, production services, crew and unit parking, and possibly incidental issues such as direction of the sun, traffic in and around the location, airplane flight paths, weather patterns, road work and so on. Location managers are also responsible for public relations at the location used and the safety of the crew during filming. A location manager will commonly work closely with the director and the production designer along with executive producers during pre-production to find and secure their expressed creative vision. In Hollywood location professionals are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 399 Union.
