The Craft
of Place
Christopher Baugh is a Los Angeles–based Location Manager with more than thirty years in feature film and television production. His work sits at the intersection of logistics and visual storytelling — translating a director's vision into the real-world environments that define how a film looks and feels.
He has collaborated with directors including Noah Baumbach, Damien Chazelle, Olivia Wilde, Joseph Kosinski, and Richard Kelly, bringing the same precision and creative instinct to intimate character dramas as to large-scale studio productions.
A member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Baugh studied French and Film at UC Irvine and the Sorbonne in Paris, and is fluent in conversational and written French — a background that sharpens his eye for place and underpins his work on international productions.
