#11 - Looking Behind-the-Scenes with Hollywood Location Manager Stuart Berberich
Welcome to “The Elements of Being” podcast, where I dissect and explore the minds and habits of psychologists, filmmakers, writers, and industry icons. Essentially, we learn what makes them flip the switch to achieve great feats, goals, and milestones…and a chance to geek out over the psychology behind human behavior.
Today is meant for my fellow film geeks. If you have ever watched an incredible scene during your favorite movie and TV show and wondered, "How do they pull that off or how do they get access to a place like that?”, we shed a little light on the process during my interview with Stuart Berberich, a Hollywood Location Manager and Scout. We typically see the movie creation experience from the perspective of actors, actresses, and directors….my interview with Stuart brought a unique behind-the-scenes look and a different perspective into the on-screen entertainment that I admire and enjoy so much.
Most likely, you’ve seen Stuart’s professional contributions if you’ve seen the blockbuster movies Transformers 3 and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight, as well as the shows, Sense 8 and the Patriot…especially the Patriot on Amazon…season one is brilliantly written and filmed.
Specifically, we discuss:
-how COVID-19 affects the present and future of Hollywood
-the true impact of Hollywood on the economy -the path and day-to-day of a location scout and manager for film and television-the process of aligning locations with the vision of the writers and director
-the challenges of finding and securing the locations you see on screen
-the evolution of Hollywood films from permanent sets to unique locations
-the current trends in Hollywood
