Flexing my creative muscles
Connecting crews to ensure smooth productions
Working as an assistant director is always fun for me because I get to work with so many different people. I have the most experience as a 2nd AD. As the AD, I get to interact with the other assistant directors, the producers, the director, and everyone else on the crew. I love talking to people about their creative goals and processes while being on set with them, and collaborating with others to ensure set runs smoothly. As a director, I enjoy collaborating with my HoDs as well as my actors to create something that may not have fit the "vision," but that comes out better than anyone could have imagined.
A fast-paced mind set to keep people in motion
I hope to work as a first assistant director again in the future to sharpen my scheduling and communication skills. I can be firm without being rude and I can allow time when it's possible. I understand the fine line you must walk to be stern, but kind. I want to direct another short film before I graduate now that I have experience to build off of and deeper knowledge of directing methods.
