Hello! My name is Francesca and I am a Location Manager and Producer from London. I have 3+ years experience in the industry as a Location Manager and have worked across TV, Film and Commercial world so have a good understanding of what's needed in each field. I've worked on a range of exciting projects such as Billions, Master of None S3, The People We Hate at The Wedding and more. One of my favourite projects was working with furry friends, Sergei and Oleg, on multiple Compare the Market commercials! I have a can-do attitude and am always up for learning, adapting and growing through each project and love meeting new people!
