Harriet Lawrence – Supervising Location Manager – LMGI

Despite the early starts, sometimes miserable weather and endless rubbish, Harriet is happiest out and about and still after 25+ years thinks being a location manager is the best job in the world. Starting in commercials, Harriet has found the moon on Earth, Scotland inside of the M25, the Maldives in a Heathrow hotel and Wolverhampton in Central Scotland: she has filmed underground, over-ground, on beaches, mountains, prisons and stately homes. Recently, she has mostly been in the tidal muddy estuaries of Essex on an adaptation of The Essex Serpent. She has worked on all sorts of TV dramas, feature films, and stills shoots including David Copperfield, Avenue 5, Overlord, Suffragette, Burton and Taylor, Fleming, Parks & Recreation, Henry VIII, all the Outnumbered series, setting up the first series of Downton Abbey and many of Stephen Poliakoff’s films including Dancing on the Edge. Harriet is passionate about training the next generation and has for many years run the renowned Assistant Location Managers Training Course.
