Karen J. Hood
- Location Management
Specializing in the timeless Ozark Mountains of Central Missouri, Karen J. Hood is the go-to, go-getter location manager for productions seeking ruralscapes. Hood knows the hills and hollers of Pulaski and Phelps counties like the back of her own hand and has a knack for knowing "just what you are looking for." She knows everybody- and if, for some odd reason, she doesn't know someone she knows someone who knows someone. A born and bred Ozarker, she has a talent for connecting Hollywood and Indie film makers with reclusive landowners and elusive properties. Hood's neighborly charm opens doors and she can deliver wild caves, authentic turn-of-the-century courtrooms, abandoned racetracks, one-room schoolhouses, and valleys large enough for full-scale battle re-enactments.
Hood has honed her boots-on-the-ground skills at Pulaski County Tourism Bureau in Saint Robert, Missouri for a decade. She is well-poised, adaptable, thinks on her feet, is constantly in motion and has the noble Ozarkian trait of being able to make something out of nothing. Through her position at PCTB she will negotiate lodging discounts, contract caterers, demolish red tape, and make friendly introductions to city and county officials and leaders.
Productions needing a small-town or rural location surrounded by stunning natural beauty would be well-served to contact Karen J. Hood.
