In addition to these responsibilities the director was also the lead actress and I took the role of director every time she was in a scene, which was pretty often.

As UPM I supervised all aspects of the production and locations. I brought on good PA's, AD's and Coordinators I referred or interview and built a strong production team. We faced many challenges throughout production as this was a nonprofit organization and every aspect of production was all on a donation/volunteer basis. It all came together so well and we had big name directors, actors and crew involved donating their time. It was an amazing project to be a part of. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6244528/

On this shoot my on set Key PA duties include: anything and everything to make the show happen. Talent wrangling, runs, lunch ordering, standing in, extra/background work, BTS interviewing and camera work, assisting the director and much more. Whatever came at me I did it.

Promoted from PA to Food Stylist because of my 7 years prior experience in the food industry as a cook. I made several on camera meals for this production ranging from breakfast, casual home-cooked dinner to lavish luxurious dinner party spreads with beautiful platings. I also managed the budget for each meal and supervised food and drink continuity during filming.

There is no such thing as a "typical" day for a PA, and your responsibilities change daily. While the duties of a PA vary from production to production, some common tasks I did are: Driving the 15 passenger van to and from set. Picking up A-List talent from home and bringing them to set. Managing Paperwork - Anything from collecting time sheets, handing out sides, getting image release forms signed by extras or bogeys, to collecting and keeping receipts from production runs or important paperwork between departments. Heavy lifting - Helping load and unload the dozens of lights, stands, and apple boxes or whatever it takes to pull off each day. Crowd control - Managing extras in a scene, or locking down the set to make sure no pedestrians unwittingly amble into the frame, ruining the shot. Errands - Anything from getting coffee to delivering the dallies back to the production office to picking up miscellaneous items for the production. Assist Every Department: No matter who needs help I'm the first one there with a hustle in my step the whole time.
