Description: Have worked in the art department swing gang since 2004, assisting in development and construction of sets. I have spent a great deal of my career working in the Piedmont Triad where most filming is done on location. On those occasions I was put in charge of the pickup and delivery of all set pieces, then completing a rough blocking of set for review by Production Designer and Director of Photography.

Description: I just got finished working as the Stage Manager for Asheville's HATCH fest. Most of my work experience is in event Production, not film production, but I think my skills could definitely be of use in a large scale film production. I am an enthusiastic and powerful force on events, and would be good at helping, herding, announcing, logisticizing, packing, unpacking, running around.... making people feel comfortable, welcome, informed, etc...supporting VIP, coordinating, errand running, etc. I clicked Production Asssistant, but would probably be a good fit as a Production Assistant's assistant:)
