Location Guide, LiveBuzz Announce New International Film Industry Trade Event in London

The Location Guide and Livebuzz have announced the creation of FOCUS, an international trade event aimed at producers, location managers, and production and photography professionals from the film, television and commercial industries.

With  television and  digital  platforms  becoming increasingly important in  the industry, FOCUS will also  cater to TV and advertising professionals.

FOCUS, supported by Greater Fort Lauderdale as  the  headline sponsor and Variety as  the headline media  partner, will  incorporate  a  trade  show,  networking  events  and  the  FOCUS Summit  K, a standalone  thought  leadership conference on how to engage and sustain an audience in today's fast changing media landscape.

The FOCUS Summit is and aimed at producers and senior executives from all global screen industries. There will also be a busy fringe program including the Advertising Producer’s Association (APA) Christmas Party.

“We think FOCUS will deliver something genuinely different as the first international location production event to  take place in London, scheduled just before the festive break. Visitors will get to engage with an inspiring mix of exhibitors; film commissions, production  services companies,
locations,  and  ancillary  services.They  can  meet  their  next  location  provider  and  network  with the  industry’s finest in a sociable, but also very useful, environment,” said Jean-Frederic Garcia, The Location Guide Managing Director and FOCUS co-founder.

These sentiments are shared by the industry as an impressive number of exhibiting companies have already signed  up  for  the  event  including  the  Malta  Film  Commission,  the  Korean  Film Commissions  and  Industry  Network, Moonlighting  Film  Productions  Services  and  Network Rail. There  is  also  support  from  dozens  of  industry  bodies  representing all aspects of the global market such as the Association of Film Commissioners the International (AFCI), Advertising Producers  Association  (APA), the  Location Managers  Guild  of  America (LMGA), and Women in Film &  Television UK.

FOCUS is set for December 14th and 15th at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London UK.
