This was a 3 weekend long shoot for a political advertisement. I was a Truck Driver and a Production Assistant, doing multiple equipment pick ups and drop offs throughout the day while we were filming. I also worked closely on set with the AD and PM.

I was brought on to wrangle BG, lock up set, and move equipment. Worked closely with the 2nd AD & 2nd 2nd.

I drove a Truck to and from the Paramount Lot, picking up and dropping off equipment. While I was on set, I assisted the 1st AD and locked down the NY set for driving scenes. Afterward I helped the Production Manager with Petty cash and payroll.

I was a multipurpose PA, who mostly worked with the Key Grip and Camera Truck. I also drove a Truck with the Grip and Gaffer equipment to our multiple shoot locations.

During my 3 month internship at Voltage Pictures, I covered scripts, pitched concepts to company executives at biweekly development meetings, handled administrative tasks around the office, and used my Truck to go on runs. As time progressed, I started working directly with company executives, being the go-to intern for any needs in the office including development, research, or sales, and even temporarily covered the desk of the executive assistant to the President of Production. I was also invited to be on set, where I worked with the art department, used my Truck for runs, and acted as an assistant to the films Producer.

Assisted the Producer by contacting local businesses regarding location filming, scheduled crew meetings, acted as 1st AD when on set, and helped with logistical and financial issues.

I worked as a runner with my Truck for picking up and dropping off equipment. On set, I was the key PA, working mostly with the Key Grip and Gaffer.

Initially started in the arts department, where I worked for 3 days crafting fake narcotics and dressing a barn to look like a drug smugglers den that had exploded. Once photography had started, I worked as a PA, assisting the location manager, production manager, and 1st AD.
