LS serviced the UK shoots of Steven Soderbergh’s Let Them All Talk (HBO, 2020) and The Laundromat (Netflix, 2019). On The Laundromat we had a quick turnaround and LS sourced a quirky, yet recognisable, London private member’s club. 4DMax Lidar Scanning was used at the location, recreating the environment digitally so that the cast and crew did not need to fly to London to get the shot. Our work on The Laundromat led to us securing Soderbergh’s next film Let Them All Talk where we looked after local casting, locations, travel and accommodation of VIP cast and crew members, health and safety, catering, and equipment hire for multiple key scenes that needed to be shot in the UK.

LS Productions’ TV experience in the UK includes reality shows taking place up mountains and out of helicopters such as Running Wild with Bear Grylls, as well as 200+ person shoots filming across castles, restaurants and tourist hotspots. We provided production services on an episode of the long-running, massively popular US show The Bachelorette and the team also provided locations and logistics for an episode of Netflix's Sense 8.
