Beth MacDonald
Location Scout
Knoxville
I have worked in television/film production for almost 40 years. Starting as a makeup artist and working through many crew positions over the years - coordinator, stylist/props, script supervisor, teleprompter, and finally settling mainly as a location scout and manager. I am a turn key business and because I live in a small production community I cover many extra areas as a location manager.
Have been very busy updating my files and Covid safe scouting during the pandemic. Have worked also as a Covid Officer on set to keep crews safe and working.
2020 - Added Covid Compliance Officer
