Featured Client: Location Manager J.J. Levine
Before becoming a Location Manager, Jennifer "J.J." Levine worked as an executive, producer and production manager for Tri-Star Pictures, Columbia Television, TNT, NATGEO, PBS, and CBS Television. She was also a Brand Marketing/Public Relations Manager for Ironstone Vineyards and Brown-Forman Beverages Worldwide, where she promoted tourism and marketed luxury wine brands. Ms. Levine is a Board Member of the Location Managers Guild International (LMGI), believing the location manager skill set - the ability to balance logistics with creative and strategic thinking, along with interpersonal and public relationship skills - are key to establishing and maintaining the bonds with local community, city officials and press that are core to successful location filming. Her credits include
The Mayor, What About Barb, Future Man, The Muppets, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, NCIS-LA, Murder 101 and hundreds of commercials. We caught up with her recently.
TLP: How did you get into location scouting?
JJ: It's all Location Scout Beth Tate's fault. She called me one day 20 years ago when I was in between executive jobs and asked me 1) if I had a camera and 2) if I knew how to use it. When I answered yes to both, she sent me to a mansion in Hancock Park and told me, "Stand at the front door and take a picture of the left side of the room. Then don't move your feet, and pivot so you line the right side of what you see through the lens to become the left side. Then do that in the whole house and when you are done go knock on some other doors, get them to let you in and agree to filming and shoot those the same way. I guess I did OK - but the funniest thing is, it wasn't until last year that it dawned on me I could move my feet a little bit when taking pans. There are no feet police.
TLP: What do you love most about being a location professional?
JJ: When I was a kid and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I had a different answer every time. Sometimes I wanted to be a vet and other times I wanted to be an architect or trapeze artist. What I love about my job is just like an actor, I get to immerse myself in a character's world for a minute - whether they work on a solar field, at a bronze foundry or in a law office. I meet all kinds of people with interesting jobs and lives and I get to envision where they would live, where they would go for a drink with their friends and all aspects of their lives the script touches on. It can be fascinating.
TLP: What do you do when you're not working?
JJ: I like to cook at home and hang out with my people and my dogs. I'm a sucker for a good Crossword, or Sudoku and I also like to paint. Lately I've been getting into acrylic pouring, which is all about relinquishing control of the process - the exact opposite of what I do at work. Believe it or not, as much as I drive for scouting and working, I love road trips. They relax me, especially if I can get outside of cell range!
