Talya Gelfand

Relocated to Austin, TX, to work on a new Netflix reality show. Worked with a tight turn around time of a week, so submitting notes and hot sheets within a matter of a few hours was a must. Pitched ideas during story meetings and was heavily involved with the production side of the show. Communicated with cast regarding call times, wardrobe, and story.

Cut down scenes for edit and worked on public domain libraries to pull archival footage for each episode. Created a tracker for archival use in order to determine if it could be used in the final product. The edit got cut short and was never finished or aired.

Hired as an Associate Producer and quickly got promoted to a Junior Story Producer. Worked on Avid editing scenes, creating string outs, and even story producing the finale of the show. I was involved in all story meetings and worked alongside editors to build episodes together.

Controlled robo-cams and logged night story for seasons 4-5 of Summer House. Worked weekends between the hours of 8pm and 8am, logging and creating nightly hot sheets for producer review. Edited on avid during weekdays to create string outs and cut downs for editor use.

Worked in the field as an AP, keeping track of all stories in the field and writing hot sheets for the network to review. I was also involved in story meetings in order to pitch new ideas and stay on top of story.
