Location, Location, Location: Hollywood’s Precarious Mobility

Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Stern Center, Great Room, 7 p.m.

Drawing from interviews with location managers in Atlanta, London, and Budapest, among other key production hubs, this talk moves past abstract discussions of ‘runaway production’ to map the transformations mobile film and television production engenders within the work worlds of key local crew positions.

This event is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by the Center for Global Study and Engagement and the Department of International Business & Management. It is also part of the Clarke Forum’s semester theme, Media, Technology and Civic Engagement.
