As the exclusive representative, I was the locations advocate. I represented the location during all phases of a production being conducted at their property (prep, shoot/event, wrap). Negotiated contracts to protect the location owners and their property, as well as obtaining the most lucrative profits possible. I confirmed insurance was provided to the owners with appropriate clauses and addendums. I made sure the production was fully permitted and legal to perform the shoot/event within the definition of the contract. I negotiated with neighbors and/or surrounding businesses to not negatively impact their relationship or flow of business. I would work to create solutions that pleased all involved at the location, the production company, and my clients. Employed staff to site manage during prep, shoot, and wrap days- to be onsite and acting as an advocate for the location owners. Collected and managed all fund disbursements. Facilitated any damages to the property, and handled deposits to be returned to the production company or use of deposit to make repairs to the property or satisfy overtime charges for use of the location and staff. Employed staff to source new properties to add to the database. Location database exceeded 1000 properties.
