PJ Connolly Scouts the Southwest for Picture Perfect Scenery

It is always fun when you know someone who “knows someone,” and PJ Connolly has known and worked for a lot of famous someones in Flagstaff and the Four Corners region. That is because it is the nature of the entertainment industry and his business, Locations Southwest and Production Services (LSW). Whether it is a commercial for Ford Motor Company, a feature film like Guardians of the Galaxy, or special projects like Will Smith celebrating his 50th birthday by bungee jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon, Connolly is Northern Arizona’s liaison for location scouting, production management and film equipment rental. “A part of what we do is help with logistics, planning, procuring permits and line production – making sure a film project runs smoothly and under budget,” said Connolly, who has been a location scout for 20 years. “Some projects require setting up an infrastructure such as building a road for big film crews then returning the land to its natural state.” Connolly said, “You can always find a pretty place to photograph or film, but the question is, can you get permission to bring in a crew of 300 or more. We help with logistics, planning procuring permits and line production, even lodging, supplies, extra crew, traffic control and more.” Sometimes, Connolly will spend a whole year scouting for a project. He also has one of the largest collections of Southwest location images in the world. With a strong background in filming in rural remote locations, LSW specializes in feature films, commercials, television, print advertising and IMAX.
