Professional Freelance Human Being at gutterkitty studios
Austin, Texas Area
I am a creative producer for film and tv. For those of you not familiar with production, I am not the money girl; though, of course, I can do professional budgets and bids. I am more of a line producer for TV shows or a UPM (unit production manager) in the film world. I love shoots; I love traveling. I am the girl you call when you have a project and a budget and you need someone to make it happen and lead everyone in the same direction as your vision. I am also a very experienced post-production producer or session producer (as I like to call it). Edit sessions, audio sweetening, color correction, compositing, etc. When you need a seasoned professional to make sure everyone is holding up their piece of the puzzle from the shoot to the finished project, I am your go-to girl.
