California On Location Awards honor location managers for pluck
latimes.com: A few days before filmmakers for the hit Fox TV series “House” were set to shoot a prison scene at a former boys correctional facility, the show’s location manager, Nancy Haecker, got a phone call that made her stomach churn. Deputy State Fire Marshal Al Adams informed her that he could not clear the way for the July shoot because the vacant Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility in Whittier was overgrown and posed too much of a fire hazard.

It's great to see someone from the off-camera world being honored like this. Often, though there are thousands of people's input into every decision that shows up on screen, only the director, editor, and cinematographer seem to get credit for it (at least in a form as legitimate as an oscar). Location managing sounds like quite a tough job, and one that I can honestly say I didn't even know existed, but would love to learn more about. It must take a lot of brains, quick thinking, and understanding of a directors' vision, which could mean some of our graduating SM/PM majors would be perfect for it!
