The provinces of Seville, Cádiz and Huelva have been nominated for the LMGI Awards, the 'Oscars' of location managers, for the filming of the Prime Video series 'Young Sherlock'. The Segovian location manager Irene Manrique is the mastermind behind the work.
The Segovian location manager Irene Manrique has achieved a nomination for the LMGI Awards, considered the 'Oscars' of location managers, for her work on the Prime Video series 'Young Sherlock'. The chosen locations in the provinces of Seville, Cádiz and Huelva have been key for the production to compete for the award in the Period Series category.
The Seville footprint in 'Young Sherlock'
In the province of Seville, the capital city became a filming set for the series directed by Guy Ritchie. Streets, squares and monuments of the city served as a backdrop for the adventures of young Sherlock Holmes, played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Also, Jerez de la Frontera and El Puerto de Santa María in Cádiz, as well as the capital of Huelva, hosted recordings.
The nomination recognises the location work in five Andalusian municipalities that have successfully recreated the Victorian atmosphere of the series. For the viewers in Seville, seeing their city in an international production from Prime Video is a source of pride and a top-tier tourist showcase.
An internationally prestigious award
The LMGI Awards are awarded by the Location Managers Guild International, an association that recognises the work of location managers in film and television. Competing in the Period Series category places these Andalusian locations on par with other major historical productions.
The series 'Young Sherlock' features an international cast including Dónal Finn as James Moriarty and Zine Tseng as Princess Gulun Shou'an. The filming in Andalusia has generated local employment and has boosted the audiovisual sector in the region.
Reactions and expectations
The Andalucía Film Commission has expressed satisfaction with the nomination, which highlights the potential of the community as a natural filming location. Location manager Irene Manrique has emphasised the variety of landscapes and the historical heritage of the selected provinces.
For the residents of Seville, seeing their city in a period series is an added incentive to continue supporting the filming of productions in the capital. Film tourism is a growing reality, and this nomination reinforces the Seville brand in the audiovisual market.
The LMGI Awards gala will take place next month in October in Los Angeles. Until then, the people of Seville can feel proud that their land is at the centre of Hollywood's location map.
