After sucessfully pitching this video, I produced and oversaw the project from start to finish, scouting and securing shoot locations, managing vendors and a $30k budget, and hiring and overseeing a 40-person cast and crew that included talents like Jared Harris of Chernobyl fame and Joker cinematographer Lawrence Sher.

When bad weather forced us to cancel the entire shoot at the last minute, I successfully rescheduled it and retained all 40 cast and crew members, without going over budget.

On shoot day, I became the 1st assistant director, managing a team of production assitants, directing cast members, and ensuring everything went off without a hitch, staying on-budget and on-schedule.

It was an unforgettable experience.
