Julian Newby talks to location manager Robert Foulkes,  about going on the road with La La Land and shooting the White House in West Wing. Foulkes is the man who shut down the ramp connecting the 105 and 110 freeways in Los Angeles for the movie La La Land. An impossible task but he did it, and the result was the stunning opening scene of Damien Chazelle’s Oscar-winning musical movie. Foulkes explains how he and the crew planned and executed this extraordinary on-location feat. He also talks about Le Mans ’66 in which he had to recreate the French motor racing circuit at airports in California; and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, for which he had to find the best location for Ebbing – a fictitious town. 

Julian Newby talks to Location supervisor Mandi Dillin. Dillin fell into the location business as young graduate looking for some kind of work in movies. She was invited to work briefly on the 2005 movie Fun with Dick And Jane as an assistant, and immediately got the bug. She has since worked as location manager, supervising location manager and ultimately executive producer, on a long list of productions including all seasons of the dystopian TV series Westworld with director Jonathan Nolan; the hit movie Inception with Jonathan’s brother Christopher; Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained; and coming right up to date, the hit TV series The Morning Show, starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell.

Julian Newby talks to Mike Fantasia, supervising location manager on Killers Of The Flower Moon. Fantasia reveals director Martin Scorsese’s insistence that the film was shot where the tragic story of the murders of the indigenous Osage people actually happened – and how, after over 100 years, the Osage people still feel the pain and the injustice of that period in their history. Mike also speaks of every location manager’s nightmare: arriving with cast and crew for the film 3.10 to Yuma, at a location that is supposed to be hot, parched and dusty, to find it covered in snow. He also talks Top Gun: Maverick and working with Tom Cruise. 

Veteran stunt co-ordinator and performer, Ian Quinn, tells Julian Newby how he insisted on taking a role in the movie Country Strong so that he could be on-set to protect its star Gwyneth Paltrow during a potentially dangerous scene. With decades in the business, his vast resumé includes Armageddon; the Hunger Games: Catching Fire; TV series Heroes; Star Trek: Insurrection; and TV series Heroes, Nashville and 24.  Here he talks about playing Sean Connery’s stunt double; how stunt work is ‘99.9% about safety’; and why the fatal accident on the set of the film Rust should never have happened.
