Experience
Assistant Director
May 2021 — Present · NY, US
The role of an assistant director on a film includes tracking daily progress against the filming production schedule, arranging logistics, preparing daily call sheets, checking cast and crew, and maintaining order on the set. They also take care of the health and safety of the crew.With a combination of humor, efficiency, and effective communication, I manage crews ranging from 10-300 people across multiple teams and departments, creating timelines and schedules based on budget and deadline constraints. Effective and clear communication is required to coordinate 10+ departments, along with a generous understanding of safety protocols and how to enact them on set.
