The Executive Producer In Action

The Executive Producer In Action
During a Taping of "Speechless"

How Can a 21-Year-Old Be an Executive Producer?

Easy: by wanting to be one for the longest time. Producing is definitely one of my strengths: I love to multi-task, manage, delegate, create and stick to deadlines, and effectively communicate. I also enjoy being creative and working with others.


One day, I want to write and produce my own sitcom. If I could learn how to be a competent director, I'd do that as well. I love comedy because I love making people laugh and enabling them to poke fun of their own idiosyncrasies; Lord knows I have a lot of them! I also dream of working with my classmates because I had the chance to work with some of the most talented casting directors, technical directors, writers, producers, stage managers, audio, and post-production personnel. At the same time, I am awed by the professionals who work out in Hollywood and hope to meet and work with some of the industry's best people.


I'm ready to take charge and conquer the world of television. Hollywood, here I come!

That's a Wrap...NOT!

Today marked the final day of taping the Kevin Bright sitcom pilot, "The Record Cellar." It's been a fun ride, and I promise to devote additional posts to the more specific aspects I participated in. It's a great feeling to be done... except, I'm not.

I'm technically the Associate Producer for this project, and my two main jobs are Audience Coordinator (for the in-studio taping that occurred this past Thursday) and Post-Production Supervisor. I've also been a Casting Associate and an on-set PA when needed. The post team will spend many a late night on the eighth floor of the Ansin building cutting and reediting scenes. Our assembly cut is due this Thursday. The good news is that we're tackling the first and longest scene tonight, and most of our footage is ingested.

The fun really begins the week of April 5th when we have in-class edit sessions and when Kevin joins us at night for the last few cuts. I should consider placing an order for a cot; it's about time someone turned the Digital Production Lab (DPL) into a hotel.
