Sophie Jackson feels she has the most amazing job in the world, and listening to her describe her job, I think I agree. As we sit chatting in her kitchen, she tells me that she’s just come back from a two-week stay in Venice; immediately before that she was in the jungles of Borneo for a month helping with a documentary. And earlier in the year she went on a trip to New York once she had completed her research trip round the Greek islands.

Sophie is a Location Manager, and her job is to find places where a movie can be filmed. A location manager’s role begins at the very start of the movie-making process, and Sophie explains that this means reading the script and finding out in detail what the director is thinking of. That can be followed by months of international travel; it’s hard work, but Sophie says it’s worth it because she feels that getting the locations right can affect the audience’s reaction to the movie.

Once a movie has got a location, that’s not the end because there are lots of extra things to organize. Is there anywhere for the actors to stay? Do we need legal permission to use the location? Is there electricity? Do the police need to be told? What about parking, transport, food? ‘There’s so much to think about, it can be hard to sleep at night,’ she says.

Sophie ended up in this job by chance. After studying law at university, she started working for a travel company in Mongolia, taking small groups on guided tours. One of her clients was a TV production company, and she did so well that they offered her a job. Other location managers got their jobs through people they knew in the industry. ‘Nobody I know in the business ever got there by answering a job advert,’ she says.

I ask if she feels there are any disadvantages to the job because I know she lives with her husband in London. She thinks for a moment. ‘He says finding somewhere exciting for a holiday is a bit of an issue because I go to so many amazing places. And sometimes, when we’re away and I see a lovely sunset or a beautiful beach, it’s difficult not to think about how I could use it for work.’ Sophie smiles. ‘But no, not really.’
