Scott Trimble

Template:Realworld Template:2008spoiler Scott Trimble (born 15 April 1977; age 47) is a Location Scout and Location Manager hailing from San Francisco, California. He was the Key Assistant Location Manager and a Location Scout on 2009's Star Trek. He first worked on the film between August through December of 2007. He returned to the production in January 2008 and stayed with it until filming wrapped in April, working on the film for a total of eight months. In addition to location work, Trimble also appears in the film as a featured extra. [1]

He collaborated with Star Trek director and producer J.J. Abrams on several other projects. In August 2006, Trimble was an Assistant Location Manager and Location Scout on one episode of Abrams' series Alias. He then served as Key Assistant Location Manager and Location Scout on the 2006 film Mission: Impossible III, directed by Abrams. Most recently, Trimble helped procure locations for the pilot of the upcoming medical drama Anatomy of Hope, also directed by Abrams.

Trimble began his film career as an extra, appearing in such films as Radio Flyer (featuring make-up effects by Joel Harlow) and Flubber (starring Clancy Brown, Christopher McDonald and Wil Wheaton). He eventually became an Extras Casting Assistant, working with background performers in films like Bicentennial Man and on the television series Nash Bridges.

His first work in the location department came in January 1999 when he scouted locations for an Adidas commercial. He has since scouted or assistant managed locations for such films as The Princess Diaries, Hulk (starring Eric Bana), 50 First Dates, Alpha Dog (starring Anton Yelchin), Reign Over Me (featuring John de Lancie), Rocky Balboa, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Hancock, and The Love Guru. He also did location work for such shows as Jack & Bobby and Presidio Med. Other shows he has worked on (and continues to work on) include House, M.D. (starring Jennifer Morrison), CSI, CSI: Miami, MythBusters, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Trimble was awarded the Robin Eickman Memorial Mentorship Award at the 9th Annual California on Location Awards (COLA) in October 2003. He has since won two COLAs: one for his work on Mission: Impossible III and another as Key Assistant Location Manager and Location Scout for 2007's Transformers. Incidentally, both of these films – like 2009's Star Trek – were written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

In addition to his location work, Trimble has acquired experience as an assistant director, production assistant (on films such as Bedazzled and The Matrix Reloaded), production coordinator (on 2005's The Zodiac, featuring Brad William Henke), assistant production coordinator (on films such as High Crimes, starring Ashley Judd, Bruce Davison, Jude Ciccolella, and John Billingsley, and The Sweetest Thing), marketing assistant (for Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2), and camera operator.
