Location scouting

Screen Illawarra - a notfor-profit organisation whose aim is to upskill local emerging practitioners and provide spaces for networking - is holding a workshop to answer ‘what does a location manager do?’ and ‘what are the pathways?’.

The workshop is targeted at anyone serious about getting into location work, including information about the paperwork, the administration, and the need for a creative eye.

They are hoping to target school age students, as well as seasoned industry workers, and professionals.

Guest speakers at the workshop will be experienced Location Managers Karen Illesca, a Kiama local who works in Sydney as a Location Manager, and Lisa Scope from Screen NSW.

They will guide workshop attendees on a practice session through various Kiama locations and cover aspects of the role including accessibility in terms of inclusivity, mental health first aid, sustainability, and more.

Karen has experience as a Location Scout as well as On Set Locations and Location manager on both short form and long form
