James DohertyJames got his break scrubbing dunnies on the big blockbusters The Great Gatsby and Mad Mad: Fury Road. Since then he has spent 10 years in the industry and come out the other end as a location scout and location manager.
His most recent work as a location manager was on “Mr Inbetween” Season 2, “Diary of an Uber Driver”, and upcoming feature film Babyteeth starring Eliza Scanlen, Toby Wallace, and Ben Mendelsohn.
