Experience

Io Group Inc. DBA Titan Media

• Online Audio and Video Media
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Director of Production/Project Manager

  • Sep 2011 - Present

  IO Group is a small independent film company. I started as a production assistant and viral content producer. I became Production Manager in early 2013, at which point I became involved in all aspects of the filmmaking process from inception to directing the movies and finally onto editing and post-production. It’s been a very rewarding experience and has allowed me to develop and hone skills like team leadership, project planning, scheduling and organization, adhering to strict release schedules and quality control, planning and running productions and guiding employee development. Other duties involved maintaining and storing legal paperwork and documents, managing our studio’s social media accounts, repair and maintenance of production gear and cameras. Despite generally working remotely from head office, I was successful in demonstrating that I could effectively manage production, staff, editing, etc. on my own. Key to this has been constant communication with the principals and staff of the company. Show less
