Robert Foulkes: La La Land and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Julian Newby talks to location manager Robert Foulkes,  about going on the road with La La Land and shooting the White House in West Wing. Foulkes is the man who shut down the ramp connecting the 105 and 110 freeways in Los Angeles for the movie La La Land. An impossible task but he did it, and the result was the stunning opening scene of Damien Chazelle’s Oscar-winning musical movie. Foulkes explains how he and the crew planned and executed this extraordinary on-location feat. He also talks about Le Mans ’66 in which he had to recreate the French motor racing circuit at airports in California; and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, for which he had to find the best location for Ebbing – a fictitious town.
