I am a DGA AD with over 7 years experience on dozens of projects. I’ve worked on everything from the micro-budget indie to the big budget studio film.

As a 1st AD I do not consider myself a “screamer.” I’ve found that running an efficient set can still be accomplished without creating unneeded tension. I do this by understanding what the crew is up against trying to do their jobs and treating them with dignity and respect. That is not to say I am a push over. I still command authority; I just do it without degrading people. I’m generally liked by crews and I work well with Directors (and even DPs).

As a 2nd AD I work well with all types of 1sts. I will do my own script breakdown to ensure I understand the script and schedule as best as I can so anticipating what may be needed for any given scene becomes almost automatic. I will do everything I can to support the 1st AD and Producers in running an efficient and cost effective set.

I am confident and efficient setting background as I am approving a call sheet. I am proficient in Movie Magic Scheduling and I have production paperwork templates for call sheets, PRs, Exhibit-Gs, etc, etc. I am extremely thorough in my script breakdown and schedule and like to have as much planned out as possible. Of course dealing with problems and unplanned issues is a given on any film set and I excel at just that. I am always willing to make the best of a production with the resources at hand.
