The Eva Monley Award is named after the spirited globe-trotting African location scout for John Huston, David Lean, and Otto Preminger, and honors industry professionals that support of the work of location specialists. LMGI VP JJ Levine notes: Danny Boyle is the ideal candidate for this award. Boyle utilizes locations to embrace the essence of his characters and to capture moments in time, from both an emotional and cultural perspective.
The Trailblazer Award will be bestowed on Location Scout and LMGI past President Lori Balton, presented by Brad Silberling and Alexander Payne.
