Over the last 8 years I have been working in the capacities of managing and instructing at an Okanagan Film School, then moved on to producing and production managing virtual reality film and commercial productions in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Norway, and Portugal. The virtual reality company I have been working for Digital Domain is now basing production elusively out of the United States, and as I am not interested in moving I m available for new opportunities. Since then in 2017 and 2018 I have been working as an Additional Assistant Director Background Coordinator on productions in the Lower Mainland as well as the Okanagan of BC. I am looking for opportunities as an Additional Assistant Director Background Coordinator to utilize my years of experience signing in/out, coordinating and working with small and large groups of background talent as a AADBCK, Trainee AD, 3 rd AD, and 2 nd AD. I am fully aware of UBCP regulations and understand the rules and regulations of working with minors and have done so as a background coordinator and child coordinator. I am seeking opportunities as well in Unit or Production Management to build on the experiences I have had managing virtual reality productions in Vancouver, LA, New York, Chicago, London, Glasgow, Oslo, etc.
