    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --
    The Location Managers Guild International  (LMGI) unveiled  the winners of its 12th Annual LMGI Awards on Saturday evening (8/23). The Motion Picture awards went to “A Complete Unknown” (shot in New Jersey’s dramatic landscapes) and “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning” (filmed in England, Norway, South Africa, Malta).
    The Television Series winners were “The Studio” (filmed in L.A., Las Vegas) “1923” (shot in Texas, Montana), and “The Penguin” (filmed around NYC, Harlem, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Chinatown, Yonkers).
    Orient Express’ “Artisan of Travel (Belmond) received the award for Outstanding Commercial, and the New Jersey Motion Picture & Television Commission for “A Complete Unknown” was awarded the Outstanding Film Commission Award.

    The awards ceremony and reception took place at the Eli & Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica before an audience of 400, including LMGI members, industry executives, and press. Actress and producer Rachael Harris (“Suits,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” “The Hangover”) hosted the evening. The LMGI Awards spotlight international features, television and commercials in which the creative use of filming locations sets the tone, enriches the character, and enhances the narrative of the story.

    Kevin Costner, the two-time Academy Award®-winning actor, producer, director, and writer, was honored with the esteemed Eva Monley Award. Costner was recognized for his dedication to storytelling through location, prominently featured in films such as “Dances with Wolves,” “The Bodyguard,” “Field of Dreams,” “Yellowstone,” and, most recently, “Horizon: An American Saga.”

    Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles was bestowed with the LMGI Humanitarian Award, recognized for its commitment to making a significant impact on the lives of children and their families through the transformative power of a wish. Their mission reflects the core values of compassion, creativity, and resilience—principles that resonate profoundly within the entertainment industry, where many have seen firsthand the life-changing effects of a fulfilled wish. Accepting on behalf of Make-A-Wish was Aparna Pande, CEO of Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles, presented by Don Pell, Make-A-Wish representative.

    Producer Ian Bryce(“6 Underground”) presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to veteran location manager Ilt Jones, whose career spans over 30 years. Recognized for his seamless integration of real-life locations with the magical world of superheroes and large action movies, Jones’ creative visions are seen on some of the biggest blockbuster films such as “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Inception,” “Iron Man 3,” “Kong: Skull Island,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Captain Marvel,” and the “Transformers” franchise.
