I am responsible for the administrative & video production aspects of this project. Working closely with the executive director, executive producer, & staff on operations/activities such as production schedules, budgets, marketing plans, quality control, personnel issues, & talent recruitment. I also gather components needed, such as research materials, scripts, talent, crew, & props.

My duties included echoing (calling out) "rolls" and "cuts", locking up (making sure nothing interferes with a take), wrangling talent, facilitating communication between departments, distributing paperwork and radios, and related tasks as mandated by the Executive Director and Executive Producer. I was also the Boom Operator for set.
