I am a graduate of the American Film Institute's producing program and up until 2015 I was working in home entertainment as a co-producer on documentaries. We were a small company creating projects for most of the major studios. Being at a small company required me to wear many hats including developing special feature ideas, performing extensive research, booking talent, locations, handling contracts and working with the editors to craft the storylines of our projects.
At the start of last year I decided to move from the marketing world back into the production world as a researcher.
