Working in below zero conditions in Canada on CAPTIVE HEARTS production
John Kuri has production experience in many locals and in extreme conditions, from 40 below zero in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec or Yamagata, Prefecture in Northern Japan during production of Captive Hearts, to multiple days in excess of 110 degrees in Dallas during production of Skyward, or the very remote locations in eastern Colorado used for the production of Conagher. He has much experience on the sound stages of Hollywood — on numerous productions, as well as urban, city streets and location production in cities from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada, and Orlando, FL to San Francisco, to New York and internationally from Japan to Ireland, Colombia to Abu Dhabi.
