My name is Juancarlo, and I'd like to be considered as a tour guide in Los Angeles. For the past twenty years, I've worked as a producer of commercials, music videos, and television. That combination of being a lifelong Angeleno and having spent my entire career in the film industry. That is what I'd bring to every tour. Most film-location tours are led by people who admire the industry from the outside. I've worked in it. I've stood on these sets, coordinated shoots at these locations, and watched the city get transformed, frame by frame, into the places audiences love on screen.
When I point to a street corner, a studio gate, or a stretch of coastline, I'm not reciting a fact I read; I'm describing what it was like to actually film there. The tour I want to create is a film-locations experience drawn from movies, TV shows, music videos, and commercials the real spots where iconic moments were shot, and the stories behind them. Woven through it, I'll tell the larger story of Hollywood: from the earliest studios that put Los Angeles on the map to the global industry it is today. It's a historical learning experience; visitors leave understanding not just where things were filmed, but why L.A. became the center of it all. While still hitting the popular landmarks along the way. I know the history of Los Angeles and California well, and I love sharing it. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish, so I can welcome visitors from around the world.
