The Importance of Location Managers and Real Estate Agents in Nolllywood and the Film Industry

The Importance of Location Managers and Real Estate Agents in Nolllywood and the Film Industry

There is no film or TV production without a location manager. And every location manager needs the service of real estate agents in locating the appropriate and suitable locations for a film or TV production.

As already known:"The location manager handles the creative side of finding appropriate locations, but they also handle the logistics needed to make that location work, like paying the property owners, securing permits, and alerting neighbors about the film shoot. The location manager reports to the production designer, but collaborates frequently with the director. The location manager oversees and hires the entire location department."

The real estate agents help the location managers to secure the required property of lands and buildings from the property owners, facility managers and permits for shooting at particular locations.

Real estate includes the land along with any permanent improvements attached to the land, whether natural or man-made—including water, trees, minerals, buildings, homes, fences, and bridges.

Real estate agents in Nigeria have not realized that they are important to the production of movies, TV series, documentaries and music videos and they can contribute a lot to the advancement of Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry. They should have regular communication with location managers, production managers, production designers, producers and directors in film and TV productions.

Bankable stars in Nolllywood build or buy houses worth millions of naira.

The importance of real estate in Nolllywood and the Nigerian film industry can also be seen in gentrification. Gentrification in urban studies means the renovation and transformation of a neighborhood, previously occupied by the lower class to suit the tastes of the middle or upper class. (Atkinson and Bridge, 2005, smith 1996). It can also be seen as a lens through which to examine a variety of intersecting phenomena in a city or neighborhood context. (Lees et.al, 2008); which can be seen in various Nigerian movies and TV series showing the social class hierarchy of the Nigerian society with the actors playing personalities in the middle class and upper class either living in, building or acquiring palatial mansions and those in rags to riches stories shown relocating from the ghettos to upscale neighborhoods to keep up with the Joneses. In fact, several bankable stars in Nolllywood are often seen announcing acquiring new mansions or building houses on different locations in Nigeria and others have become brand ambassadors of popular real estate companies.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., July 1, 2011

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hailed as "TV's Funniest half-hour," by Variety Magazine, The Office, Season Seven marks the momentous departure of Steve Carell as Michael Scott - the slightly clueless, often politically-incorrect, but always loveable office manager – an iconic role that earned him a Golden Globe® and five Emmy® nominations. With Michael on his way out, the coveted position as "the boss" opens up in this hilarious game-changing season that features guest stars like Jim Carrey (Mr. Popper's Penguins, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), James Spader ("Boston Legal," Secretary), Will Arnett (Despicable Me, "Saturday Night Live"), Ray Romano ("Men of a Certain Age," "Everybody Loves Raymond,"), Warren Buffet (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) and Catherine Tate ( Monte Carlo , "The Catherine Tate Show"), among others.

Sparks fly when Holly Flax (Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone, "In Treatment") returns to the office, causing Michael Scott to question if she was the one that got away. Plus, executive producer Ricky Gervais (The Invention of Lying, "The Ricky Gervais Show") makes surprise cameo appearances as Michael Scott's British counterpart David Brent. Timothy Olyphant ("Justified") also guest stars as Danny Cordray, Pam's (Jenna Fischer, Solitary Man) ex-flame and Dunder Mifflin's newest traveling salesman.

Fans can catch up on all the inter-office power plays from Steve Carell's final season when "The Office" Season Seven debuts on Blu-ray™ and DVD September 6, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Both the Blu-ray™ and DVD feature hours of bonus material including Steve Carell's extended farewell episode "Goodbye Michael Scott," over an hour of never-before-seen deleted scenes, the unaired extended version of Michael Scott's film "Threat Level Midnight," bloopers, webisodes and more.

"The Office" Season Seven is based on the award-winning BBC hit of the same name and developed for American television by Primetime Emmy® Award-winner Greg Daniels ("King of the Hill," "The Simpsons").
