I just made a static page with an embedded news map of excerpts of location scouting and location management-related news stories from around the world, aggregated from Google News, Yahoo News and MSN News.

Something I have wanted to do for years, as a location scout and location manager, is to have an easily-web-accessible film zone map to use for reference.

I recently purchased a BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (“Pearl” would seem to denote the small pearl-like trackball located on the face of the device used for navigation) (photos).

Nice job, Sam!

I recently had the opportunity and pleasure recently to work with our own Passaic County Film Commission, which is an economic development arm of the Passaic County, NJ county government.

Passaic County, NJ (I live in Clifton, NJ, which is in Passaic County) is a very viable resource for location scouts, location managers and producers of film, video and photo media, given its proximity to New York City (most, if not all of the county is in the NYC film zone), population density and subsequently, diversity of potential locations and other resources of likely value to production.

The Passaic County Film Commission also sponsors the Passaic County Film Festival.

The film office is headed up by Deborah Hoffman, Director of Economic Development for the county. Deborah, if by no other virtue than her job, knows LOTS of people around the county and is well connected in the local business community. What this translates to is Deborah is the initial point person for “making things happen” if there is interest in making use of production and location resources in Passaic County. Deborah’s contact info can be found on the Passaic County website.

In case you didnt know, the Long Island International Film Expo is coming up this weekend… I received an email from director Marty Stano, whose short film Moon Cake I reviewed in an earlier post alerting me that his film had been chosen for inclusion in the Expo. Atta boy, Marty, go get ‘em!

Update 3/26/08 – This is a general cleanup of an article I originally posted timestamped December 04, 2006 @ 09:07. At the time I wrote the original post, geotagged map solutions which could include photos were really just starting to come of their own (from what I could find myself and / or was able to wrap my head around at the time …

Recently, I was hired to location scout in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming UK tv program and it was an opportunity for me to explore an interesting city I have lived within 20 minutes or so of for about 15 years but never really spent much time in, other than to pass thru on the NJ Transit train to get to the PATH train, (which runs under the Hudson River) to travel into New York City.
