Creative & Pre-Production

• Secured the final location after scouting 6 options and negotiating directly with business owners

• Led casting through social media outreach, flyers, and direct talent communication

• Contributed to budget planning and helped secure full grant funding for the project

Production

• 1st AD'd an 8-hour shoot with 16 setups across a multi-location shoot with a 13-person crew and 6-person cast

• Scheduled filming outside business hours to avoid added location and revenue costs

• Coordinated lighting adjustments across night shoots to simulate daytime and maintain visual consistency

• Resolved a talent conflict mid-shoot by addressing a role misunderstanding and negotiating a fair solution

• Ensured a clean, on-time location wrap

Post-Production

• Recast a voice match for the original actor when they were unavailable, securing a clean voiceover without reshooting

• Rearranged the cut order to improve story flow and gave pacing notes to ensure the edit didn't lock too rigidly to the music
