Doin’ It with JD Ryznar

Two of the greatest dudes ever created, JD Ryznar and David Lyons, made this pilot for Channel 101.  It’s called Doin’ It with JD Ryznar.  In this inaugural episode, Dave helps JD live his dreams of constructing a real-life bulletin board.

“Let’s get this doin’ done!”

Location managers are often described as the eyes and ears of directors, playing a pivotal role in finding and securing the key locations that bring production shoots to life.

Next time you see David B. Lyons, give him a pat on the ass and tell him, “Good job!”

The 2011 California On-Location Awards (COLA) were handed out recently reminding me of how awesome, and unfortunately often under-recognized, location managers are.  I used to be one, on a much smaller scale, for reality TV shows.  The job is really fun and rewarding, but a lot of hard work and dedication is involved in securing the perfect location.  Hats off to all you locations managers; good job!

Dave’s co-worker John Panzarella was nominated this year for Location Professional of the Year, Studio Feature Film for his work on In Time.
