For Creatives By Creatives : Location Locked

Season 3 of our Podcast for women filmmakers is back and if you aren’t familiar with what we do, simply put we show you it’s possible to live your filmmaking dreams through the journey of other women filmmakers. Its our version of film school in under an hour. That’s why we are excited to announce our Sponsors for Season 3 Location Locked.

Location Locked was conceptualized in 2018 after Latasha Kennedy and Rani Robinson, of LMK Entertainment Group, struggled to find a location to shoot Latasha’s film, One Last Goodbye. After a grueling, exhaustive search on some of the largest rental property platforms, they were compelled to reach out to their network and friends to help them find a suitable location without the exorbitant fees. To their surprise, the response was overwhelming and while a location came through, Latasha and Rani were greatly impacted by their peers’ generosity and eagerness to help. Rather than chalk the process up to “one crazy experience,” Latasha and Rani decided to create an opportunity for filmmakers and content creators to an easier and more cost effective way to lock in a location.

Thus, you have Location Locked – a platform for artists to find and offer their peers a hand up and help creatives dreams of creating come true. Whether bringing together a community of film and art enthusiasts, helping artists find cost effective locations that support their stories, or creating income opportunities for artists across the globe, we believe that the filmmaking community has everything we need to succeed and tell our stories – and it starts with us.
Location Locked is built by creatives and for creatives.
