Aug 2007 - Jan 2011 Focus Films Ltd.
Assistant Producer, Assistant to the Head
producer, Development Consultant,
Production Coordinator
I was lucky in that with a lot of hard work and commitment, that I was able to turn my one month work experience into a three year job. I assisted the CEO and Head Producer, David
Pupkewitz. During my time at Focus Films, I worked on three completed feature films. I have a keen eye which allowed me to package our feature films for investors and sales
agents.
In my role as development consultant, I helped with the development of 10 Scripts. I would say my key strengths at Focus Films were budgeting, script development, production coordination, packaging and selling film projects. I also assisted in the creation and set up of the Million Dollar Movie Company incentive film fund.
