Hollywood studio execs – including James Lin, Universal Pictures SVP physical production, Legendary TV’s Lily Tammy and Robert Ortiz, Paramount SVP, production – met with international location managers, scouts, and line producers and film commission reps at this year’s Shooting Locations Marketplace in Spain’s Valladolid.
Among location managers, event ambassador Lori Balton was joined by William Doyle (“Mank”) Mika Saito (“Tenet”) Michael Glaser (“Inception”) Les Fincher (“Over the Brooklyn Bridge”) John Hutchinson (“White Noise”) and John Rakich (“See”).
David Williams Jeffrey Shepherd and Sandra Solares (“Point Break”) also attended.

The forthcoming prequel in the Hunger Games franchise has landed an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA ahead of its release next month.
This means that The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, the Lionsgate feature hitting theaters Nov. 17, can have its onscreen talent promote the film in the coming weeks. Francis Lawrence directs a cast that includes Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Jason Schwartzman, Josh Andrés Rivera and Viola Davis.
The film is eligible because Lionsgate is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which is currently engaged in negotiations with SAG-AFTRA amid the actors strike.
Other recent projects to have received an interim agreement for publicity purposes include Bleecker Street’s What Happens Later, A24’s Priscilla and Iron Claw, Neon’s Ferrari and concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
