As a First Assistant Director I mostly enjoy working on complex international co-productions or quick turnaround highly focused projects.
I reprogrammed Movie Magic Scheduling towards implementing much more time and cost efficient systems in pre-production. I list DOODs for every last VFX plate and build category exports like “Special Equipment by Storyboard” in shooting, story and time chronology for every department so nothing can go wrong due to miscommunication or missed sign-offs.
During production I rely on my stress resistant leadership past as a Red Cross paramedic and run a calmly focused, military style organised set.
A development focused challenge I really enjoy is the scheduling part of early stage funding applications.
If there’s one thing I dislike, it’s wasting time. Time is money but more importantly: money comes and goes, while wasted time will never come back. To me, this applies to production resources as well as life in general.
