Location Manager
Harriet grew up in Scotland, moving to London to do a foundation course in Art at Chelsea School of Art and a degree in Photography at London College of Printing. After brief stints in retail and picture editing, she fell into Location Managing by accident, starting by working in commercials. Location Managing for over 25 years, Harriet has found the moon on Earth, Scotland inside of the M25, the Maldives in a Heathrow hotel and Wolverhampton in Central Scotland: she has filmed underground, over-ground, on beaches, mountains, prisons and stately homes.
Harriet has worked on all sorts of TV dramas, feature films, and stills shoots including Suffragette, Burton and Taylor, Fleming, Parks & Recreation, Henry VIII, all the Outnumbered series, setting up the first series of Downton Abbey. Other films have included My Cousin Rachel, shooting in the Home Counties and Devon, The Personal History of David Copperfield, and, more recently, Saltburn.
On Suffragette, Harriet took the crew into the House of Commons for four days filming of rioting suffragettes. It was the first feature film to ever shoot there. Since 2007, Harriet has also run the renowned Assistant Location Managers Training Course via Film London then the Production Guild, and more recently supported by The Location Collective.
