My creative contributions are vast, helping to oversee all creative aspects of production - from casting through prep and post, including script development, project management, wardrobe styling, locations, and music.- Script development: Write and compile extensive creative notes during all phases of development that provide writers/directors/producers with clear, concise direction and provide alternate creative suggestions. Evaluate incoming script/talent submissions through a programming and creative lens.- Project Management: Manage and coordinate day-to-day operations for the development, prep, production, and post stages of the films or series. Assist in assembling teams for production.- Casting: Research, scout, and select strong leading actors through agency and management contacts, as well as casting supporting roles through local casting directors.- Wardrobe styling: With a stylist background, I ensure flattering, on-brand looks with great taste.- Music : Licensing music and notating original score.- Post Production: Generate comprehensive notes on cuts, vfx, and music, to make sure it reaches the highest quality possible. - On-set Producing: Provide supervision and oversee the creative vision being executed on set, from the network perspective.
