Call Boomerang Carnets, Your Carnet Specialists

Boomerang carnets® Media was proud to be an award sponsor for the inaugural Location Manager Awards UK, held on Saturday, October 4, at Liverpool’s iconic St. George’s Hall.  This momentous event is the first in the U.K. dedicated to honoring location professionals in the production industry, celebrating the crucial behind-the-scenes work of location managers, scouts, unit managers, and studio teams.  See FB album.

Liverpool, often called the “Hollywood of the North,” was the perfect host city, given its high standing as a U.K. premier filming hub. 

We sponsored the Liverpool Film Office Location Department Award – for a location department or studio team that exemplifies excellence and collaboration.  Congratulations to winners Ian Pollington & Team – Slow Horses!
 

Celebrating Industry Talent

Founded to spotlight the work of location professionals, the awards brought well-deserved recognition to the people and teams who make productions possible.

Boomerang carnets UK and our partner, the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, were represented at the ceremony by Curt E.H. Wilson, Managing Director of boomerang carnets UK, and Paul Cherpeau, Chief Executive Officer of Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

We warmly congratulate all the winners and nominees for their talent, dedication, and vital contributions to the industry.  To the location departments, studio teams, unit managers, and emerging talent who keep productions running smoothly—we salute you.  

ATA Carnets: Essential to International Film Production

The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce has become a hub for international production who rely on ATA Carnets.  For film and television projects traveling abroad, ATA Carnets make it possible to move equipment, cameras, sets, costumes, digital technology, and other professional gear seamlessly across borders.

An ATA Carnet is often called the “Merchandise Passport.”  It allows the temporary importation of professional equipment, trade show exhibits and demo equipment, and commercial samples without paying import duty or taxes.  For producers and crews, ATA Carnets are more than a cost-saving tool—they are essential to keeping projects on schedule.  Crews can quickly clear their equipment through customs without delays, avoiding costly interruptions.

As the only ATA Carnet provider operating in both the U.S. and U.K., boomerang carnets has supported the film and television industry since 1987 in the U.S. and 2015 in the U.K.  We understand the last-minute demands of production and provide 24/7 carnet issuance, including weekends and holidays, to meet tight deadlines.  ATA Carnets are accepted in 90+ countries and territories and can be valid for up to a year.
 

Seamless U.S.–U.K. Service

With operations in both the U.S. and U.K., boomerang carnets offers productions seamless service by eliminating the need to work with multiple providers—saving valuable time and resources.
 

Thank You to Partners and Organizers

We extend special thanks to the Liverpool Film Office, a vital resource for producers and a central point of contact for international projects, as well as to our fellow sponsors who made the event a success.

The production industry is unstoppable, and boomerang carnets is proud to play a part in its ongoing success.
