As the Line Producer for this documentary, my role was pivotal in managing both the operational logistics and the financial oversight essential for the seamless execution of the production. I led the recruitment and comprehensive management of both the main and remote documentary crews, ensuring efficient onboarding and offboarding processes. My responsibilities extended to meticulously designing and adjusting production and post-production schedules, critical for keeping the project on track. I excelled in coordinating complex logistics, which included arranging travel for crew and equipment to various remote locations within the United States and managing fully remote crews in Dubai and Ghana via Zoom. I handled all necessary administrative tasks, such as securing permits, acquiring likeness and voice releases, and renting and ensuring the delivery of essential equipment to shooting locations. Financial management was a significant component of my duties. I was responsible for the weekly payroll for all crew members, managing and reconciling expenses, and ensuring accurate collection and processing of receipts with the accounting department. I utilized Movie Magic to track all expenses meticulously, ensuring budget adherence and financial transparency. Additionally, I prepared and approved monthly cost reports, providing critical financial insights to the production company. Moreover, I developed and implemented a COVID-19 contingency plan to ensure safety and compliance across all production activities. I also participated in bi-weekly check-ins with the network, delivering progress updates and maintaining open lines of communication. This role demanded a high level of adaptability and problem-solving skills, particularly in swiftly resolving internal disputes and addressing unforeseen challenges to maintain project momentum and team cohesion. Through strategic planning and robust project management, I ensured that production standards were met and that the documentary successfully adhered to its creative and documentary objectives.
