Our department, Post Production Operations, was responsible for booking Post Production services for a variety of VIACOM television series. Networks included MTV, BET, Comedy Central, MTV2, VH1, and Nickelodeon. Depending on the location of the show and amount they wanted to spend, we would find and negotiate the best 3rd party Post facilities around Los Angeles and Burbank (Facilities include: Santa Monica Video, Fotokem, Oracle Post, DG Enterainment and more). In addition to booking, my daily responsibilities consisted of tracking our current orders, inputting them into VIACOM's SAP Accounting system (SWIM), and shepherding the client through the stages of the company's payment policy. Since a lot of the bigger facilities had their own accounting systems, I would often need to work with the outside facility to design the best workflow to accommodate both companies respective systems. At the end of each month, I would go through all of our bookings for the month and compare them against our Purchase Orders, closing out finished jobs, and if there were any unresolved PO's, I would contact the facility in question to resolve the order.

In 2013, I wrote, directed, and independently financed a feature film, called RELAPSE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6089918/?ref_=nv_sr_1). I supervised Post Production between 2016-2017. Not publically available yet but currently looking at Film Festivals. Link to the film available upon request.
