To whom it may concern:
I strongly recommend Lisa Calhoun
for the position of Location Manager for any
production. Lisa was hired as a replacement, at
the last minute on a television pilot called
"The Mike Epps Comedy Show" which shot in Baton
Rouge and New Orleans.
As our project expanded from a
pilot into eight episodes, Lisa requested
bringing on an assistant location manager and an
additional scout. Lisa knew who to hire to
fulfill the needs of this production and managed
her team beautifully. She ran her department in
a way that made my life as Line Producer much
easier.
She's a go-getter, a good
negotiator and she saved this production quite a
bit of money. She's outgoing, poised and
courteous with everyone. Both crew and property
owners respected her straightforward honesty and
tact. She got along famously with the entire
crew and made herself available for tech scouts
at our convenience.
Lisa made sure I was up-to-date
on details of her job that were important to me
and didn't bother me with those that weren't. As
this production expanded, it was a test of her
flexibility and she passed with flying colors.
Success of the project as a whole
seemed important to Lisa, she went above and
beyond the call of duty when it was needed. The
head of the product placement department asked
her to secure the use of a picture vehicle,
which she did from a local dealership, delivered
to the set at no cost to production. The art
department asked her to help them out with a
hard to find prop, which she also did. When the
production ran longer than we had planned, our
insurance had to be extended and had to be
reissued to some of the vendors. Lisa agreed to
reissue their insurance in addition to issuing
riders to her property owners.
When Lisa was given various
locations with last minute specifics from talent
and executives I knew I didn't have to give it a
second thought and that it was going to get
done. Most importantly I knew that there would
be no surprises when we showed up on location to
shoot.
When the production was wrapping,
Lisa turned in her paperwork on time, in perfect
order, and reserved a duplicate copy for her
files.
I was pleased to have her
represent this production and I plan to bring
her aboard on my up coming productions. She is
my go to girl without a doubt!
