  • 2018 Goals + Resolutions

    2018 Goals + Resolutions

    It’s that time of year everyone! Time to set your new year goals and resolutions (and hopefully be able to stick and achieve them).

    I decided to go ahead and post them up on my blog this time, mainly because I forgot what my goals and resolutions were for 2017. But looking back on 2017, I feel like I accomplished quite a bit – as you could have probably have seen in my last post.

    So let’s dive right in shall we?

    What are your goals this year?

    • Make moves and land more Coordinator, UPM and Line Producing jobs – to the point that I can have separate resumes for those positions rather than combining them all in one
    • Get a new car

    What are your resolutions this year?

    • Eat healthier
    • Take better care of myself
    • Sleep better and earlier
    • Be more active (gym, pilates, etc.)

    Those are my goals and resolutions, I’m most likely going to add more to this later on – what are your’s? Leave a comment and/or like this post. See you on the next one!

    Girls Don’t Cry

    I am beyond humble to have been given the opportunity to work on this amazing project. In a time of hate and “carnage”, we as human beings need to stand together and not against each other.

    Congratulations once again to this beautiful film and thank you to everyone who helped make and supported this project! Without you guys, we would not have made it this far. We did it everyone!

  • Learning Experiences

    Learning Experiences

    For the past month or so I have been given the opportunity to intern on two shoots, both of which I was able to shadow and learn quite a bit from Production Coordinators. One was a feature and the other was for a digital series.

    It was through the feature and digital series that I learned two new possible roles that I could really get into and be really good at, Unit Production Manager and/or Production Coordinator. Both of these roles really feed into my meticulous side and strange love for paperwork and organizing. For those of you who don’t know, both roles deal with the logistical side of production. So it’s dealing with vendors, locations, time cards, etc. etc. etc. Pretty much how to make a feature with the time and budget allocated to you. Fun right? (side note: there is no sarcasm intended at all with that last statement)

    It was also through these projects that I learned how much more challenging it is to create a feature and a web series because of all the other elements that are added into it. Shorts compared to these are definitely a cake walk.

    It is true what they say about the more shoots that you do the more you learn and the more experience you gain. You can’t truly go into this business knowing exactly what it is you’ll be doing in the role you signed up for. But then again, where is the fun in repetition right?

    More to come soon!
