First & Second Assistant Director — building the schedules, set culture, and call-sheet logic that let directors direct. Based in Phoenix; passport ready.
A good day on set is the one where nobody notices the schedule — actors arrive ready, departments hit their marks, and the director gets to chase the shot instead of the clock. That's the job.
From feature indies in the Sonoran Desert to national commercial spots and studio 2nd units across the Southwest, I run a tight floor: clear call sheets, honest run-times, and a crew that trusts the plan. Cool head when the day gets weather-cancelled — and a faster Plan B than most.
No yelling. Ever. I'd rather kill people with kindness and over-communicate twice than leave one PA guessing. The crew that wants to come back tomorrow is the crew that books the next job.
Phoenix-based, but I travel light and land running. Open to features, episodic, commercial, and 2nd-unit work anywhere a production sheet calls.
