Location Scouting and Location Managing are two distinct jobs. As a Location Scout, my knowledge of the Pacific Northwest will help find shooting locations that meet both the creative and practical needs of your project. As Location Manager, I manage all the logistical details of filming on location, from permitting and contracts to police and neighborhood coordination.
My rates and services are scaleable to almost every budget. Contact me to discuss how I can help you with your next production.
My Services
Detailed Video & Photography
With the recent explosion of online mapping tools and smartphone location services, the nature of location scouting is changing. I integrate many of those new technologies into the scouting process to help you make the best decisions regarding where, when and how you want to shoot. In addition to detailed location photography, I can provide brief video clips that give a sense of camera movement, as well as interactive 360-degree panoramas.
Custom Online Maps
For feature films or other large projects I also create custom online maps. These provide you and your crew with site information, addresses, and directions to all of your shooting locations, basecamps, holding areas and other support sites. These maps are of particular value for cast or crew who need to find their way to location during preproduction or after wrap. They also provide an overview of where all your locations are relative to each other, helping producers and AD’s with planning, scheduling and determining the most efficient company moves.
Online Location Management
My custom built location dashboard offers clients a rich online experience. Photo galleries, videos, location maps and other information are categorized and posted on a private website that you and your team can view from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Seminars and Presentations
I often speak to groups about my work as a location scout, and the various movies and TV shows that have filmed in Washington State. If you’re interested in having me speak with your club, school or organization, drop me a line.
