As a filmmaker, I typically spend a few months on the road every year for various productions. Each is divided up between one- and two-week shoots. The rest of the time, I am in McGillivray Freeman’s beautiful offices in Laguna Beach, California—sitting behind a desk working on preproduction, which involves administrative work such as phone calls, scheduling, budgeting, research, and project organization. It’s tedious occasionally (after the 10^th phone call discussing permitting minutia) but rewarding, as I know it’s all working towards the same goal—securing locations that are A+ for the giant screen. We’re always searching for the hidden gems that the audience has yet to see, some place that will rouse audiences to the edge of their seat in excitement when it appears on the biggest screens in the world. We are able to bring these experiences to audiences because of the giant screen cinema industry we are connected to—it’s a one-of-a-kind film experience—and I’m so honored to be a part of it.
