Hollywood studio execs – including James Lin, Universal Pictures SVP physical production, Legendary TV’s Lily Tammy and Robert Ortiz, Paramount SVP, production – met with international location managers, scouts, and line producers and film commission reps at this year’s Shooting Locations Marketplace in Spain’s Valladolid.
Among location managers, event ambassador Lori Balton was joined by William Doyle (“Mank”) Mika Saito (“Tenet”) Michael Glaser (“Inception”) Les Fincher (“Over the Brooklyn Bridge”) John Hutchinson (“White Noise”) and John Rakich (“See”).
David Williams Jeffrey Shepherd and Sandra Solares (“Point Break”) also attended.
Strategically timed just before the Seminci Valladolid Film Festival, the boutique Marketplace is a unique event structured around the decision makers in choosing locations. A record 69 studio execs and location managers sat at booths with an agreed-to appointments schedule of meetings with film commissioners, production service providers and companies – such as hotels chains – coming to them to pitch their offers.

As a sector grows, it adds more specialist infrastructure. Taking place Oct. 20-21 and organised by the Feria de Valladolid and Spain Film Commission, Spain’s Shooting Locations Marketplace is a case in point and part of Spain’s drive to consolidate as one of the world’s foremost big shoot locales.
“The Spain Film Commission’s policy is to target specific industry segments, beginning with location managers,” Spain Film Commission president Carlos Rosado said at Valladolid.
The Marketplace is a case in point, coming as the value of locations has grown to become a basic consideration in a highly competitive new content scene. “There’s an exponential increase of productions that has raised the need to set each story in a unique location which meets both producers and directors criteria,” Rosado added. Following, seven takeaways:

When architects designed São Paulo’s Octavio Ferreiras de Oliveira Bridge, which opened in 2008, they didn’t set out to connect the two sides of Pinheiros River but rather to create a global symbol. The city’s citizenry largely approved.
Its stunning, unique locations, which also prove part of the city’s narrative, are a big draw for productions. With its impactful settings, few cities in the world connote metropolitan modernity better in their visuals than São Paulo. It is one huge reason for shooting in the city, though productions cover the gamut of disparate creative intentions.
“Incentives are going to drive filming to wherever region in the world wants filming,” said James Lin, Universal Pictures VP of physical productions, citing another reason to shoot in the South American city in opening remarks at Spain’s recent Shooting Locations Marketplace.

Crunchyroll has been one of the world’s leading sources of anime since 2006 when it was initially founded by Kun Gao, James Lin, Brandon Ooi, and Vu Nguyen.

A deep sense of nostalgia bookends the latest entry in the fifty year old Star Trek saga, Beyond. First, nostalgia for Earth (the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are space-weary, having been on an exploratory mission for three years); later, nostalgia for a new adventure (certain mid-movie mishaps forces them into a temporary space vacation, and they long to get back out there). In between lies a half decent action movie with engaging if familiar characters, and just enough action to keep you mostly interested. But even the diehard fans of the series may leave the theater with some wistfulness of their own—longing perhaps for the days of J.J. Abrams, when the films really dared go where they had not before.
To its credit, Star Trek Beyond strives hard, successfully, to feel more like an extended episode of the TV show than a modern, soapy Hollywood blockbuster.

The World of Extreme Happiness Directed by Eric Ting Written by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig Manhattan Theatre Club - NYC Center Stage February 3-March 29, 2015
A boy is a child. A girl is a thing. These words greet the birth of Sunny Li in The World of Extreme Happiness, the new play from award-winning Playwright-in-Residence at the Manhattan Theatre Club, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig. Sunny’s arrival into the world in 1992 rural China puts her place in her father’s heart somewhere below the female racing pigeon about whom he rhapsodizes and dreams. Accordingly, it is not even clear at first that he is talking about a pigeon and not a woman, while the newborn girl is quickly, albeit temporarily, consigned to a slop bucket to die. When we next meet Sunny (Jennifer Lim), she is 18 and part of the janitorial staff in an urban factory with a PR problem due to employee suicides.
