1st Assistant DIrector in Short Film "Freeze-Frame"

Sep 2014 - Oct 2014
Helping the director achieve his vision in creatively practical terms. Scheduling a film shoot that expanded between London and Edinburgh, coordinating all departments (over 50 people in 10 departments) on location, coordinating unit moves with the Location Manager and Production Coordinator, report to Executive Producers. For this film, director Anthony Fabian wanted a highly sophisticated approach to a story set in primer locations of London (Picadilly Circus, Embankment, St. Pancars) and Edinburgh (Princess Gardens), which demanded crow control, smooth unit moves and extensive background action. Starring Freddie Fox and Yuan Tian, this shoot ended with an epic shot in Edinburgh Castle.
