October 17, 2006 — Borys Kit reports " On Sunday, "M:I-3" won Film Liaisons in California Statewide's production company/location professional of the year award for features. The other top prize, location professional of the year for features, went to Liz Matthews for Revolution Studios' upcoming "Next." "M:I-3," which had a massive 13-person locations team led by Becky Brake, shot downtown Los Angeles as Shanghai, closing roads for car chases and explosions, endured a dangerous eight-night shoot on a wind turbine farm in the Coachella Valley and built a bridge on the grounds of the Ahmanson Ranch for one of the movie's signature set pieces, which survived a fire that swept through Ventura County. The movie also shot in Hollywood, Fontana, Arcadia, Long Beach, Palm Springs, Hawthorne and other California locales. The movie beat the DreamWorks production "Disturbia" and the Clint Eastwood-directed "Letters From Iwo Jima."
