About

For me, producing is like solving geometric proofs, or a series of if-then-but questions that must be carefully assessed with all teams. Using project management tools, I lead cross-functional teams, document meetings, work with stakeholders to execute decisions and coordinate international and domestic productions. In pre-production, I secure access, identify a story’s crux, manage source relationships, create and track budgets, establish timelines, and over-communicate to deliver projects on deadline. On set, I execute decisions on lights, cameras, and crafty, resolving questions big and small, from "Who do we cast for the lead characters?" to “How much Coke Zero should we buy for the anti-Pepsi crew?" When post-production hits, I work closely with editors to negotiate story structure, music, and sound.
