I am a highly experienced Location Scout & Manager in Hollywood, Los Angeles and all of Southern California. Primarily working in Commercials, TV Series, Feature Films and Fashion. 20+ years Experience. My resume is on my website at www.SoCalScout.com and many of my long form credits are on www.IMDB.com under Dale R Dreher. I am a member of the Teamsters Local 399 and I can work nonunion under my Maverick Locations company banner. I live near LAX and shoot great photographs with a Canon 6D full frame camera. I do great budgets, obtain film permits, have all my own vendors for location protection, trash removal, security, temporary restrooms, cleaning, traffic control and the like. Whether the crew size is 3 people, 15, 25, 65 or 125, I can handle it!

I look forward to meeting you!

I have been in the industry since 1986.

My expertise in these areas is crucial for finding the perfect settings for various film projects. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or just curious about the behind-the-scenes work in the film industry, this video provides valuable information and practical tips.
