Producer / Production Manager

Picture

​I have a great overlook of a project, and an organized approach to handling multiple aspects of a production. I like seeing things from start to finish and work hard at ensuring all aspects of a set work together smoothly and that even the smallest things have been considered. As a producer on Indies and Short Films I often get involved in the different part of the production process, which means this role often coincides with Production Manager for me. It also allows me to go into depth with scripts, assist with casting and running table reads and rehearsals. 
​
What I bring to the table:​
  • An organized approach to getting things done and done fast
  • The ability to wear multiple hats
  • Support in all departments in pre, production and post
  • A focus on safety, accessibility and inclusion
  • Mental Health First Aid Approach

As a Mental Health First Aider, it's important to me when working on a film set is the safety and well-being of all crew and cast. The industry has historically been run with a very grind mentality, and as much as that is still the case, it's vital we ensure the well-being and safety for our crew and cast - especially in these uncertain times for our jobs. It’s vital to me that people’s accessibility needs are met and they have a clear person they can come to should any needs or situations arise that affect their comfortability and ability to do their work.

I have excellent communications skills and an easy going attitude that can get stuff moving, whilst still maintaining the good vibes on set.

  • The Curse of Ghost Island, 2025, Feature, Directed by Lisa Ovies

I recognize that I live and work on the stolen lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Working from a world-wide anti-colonial standpoint is essential to my work in order to build bridges and attempt to heal some of the wounds that have been caused by colonizing settlers,. Furthermore, I strive to highlight Indigenous voices in all the work I do, as well as honour the land that they have kept safe since time immemorial.
