On Location with Julian Newby
Behind every great film or television scene is a place, and behind that place is a story. On Location with Julian Newby pulls back the curtain on the world of location shooting, moving beyond the finished screen to explore the real-world spots where magic and logistics collide. Each episode is a deep dive into the craft, featuring candid conversations with the people who make it happen: location managers who hunt for the perfect backdrop, producers who navigate impossible deadlines, film commissioners selling a region’s potential, and actors who adapt to unpredictable environments. We get into the nitty-gritty-the thrill of discovering a hidden gem, the challenge of managing a shoot in a bustling city or a remote desert, and the unexpected problems that become legendary set stories. Hosted by Julian Newby, who brings his editorial expertise from Location International and Location California magazines, this podcast offers an authentic, ground-level perspective. It’s for anyone fascinated by the intersection of storytelling and real geography, who appreciates that a location is more than a setting-it’s a character. Tune in for a global tour of film sets, hearing directly from the professionals who turn a simple "place" into the unforgettable scenes we all remember. This is a production from Boutique Media International, serving as an audio companion to their acclaimed annual publications, and it consistently delivers rich, specific tales from the front lines of production. You’ll come away from this podcast with a newfound appreciation for the complex, often heroic work that happens long before the director calls action.
