Production Manager
Storyteller Media Group
I was employed at Storyteller Media Group as their full time Production Manager. Between 2003 and 2005, I managed the production of an international award-winning documentary series called Animal X 2. Between shoots and during production lulls, I was also responsible for helping the Executive Producer pitch for new work.I produced and implemented an 18-month international filming schedule for this Discovery Channel documentary series, with assistance from the Series Producer and Executive Producer. For international shoots, I was responsible for scheduling each day of the shoot and booking flights, car hire, hotel rooms,excess baggage and even the talent interviews and location bookings. In some cases, I was also required to travel so that I could deal with any issues on-the-road as they happened.I was responsible for sourcing quotes and booking freelance crews (camera, audio, voiceover, talent, production crew) and co-ordinating the workload of all crew members contracted for the 18-month period.All re-enactments were filmed in Perth, unless required to be in a specific location. For this, I booked all talent, makeup, locations and local crews.
