Production Customer Success Manager @ Eved

About

I have been working in Feature Films going on my 26th year now. I cut my teeth on low budget Indy films to big budget blockbusters, even a year in animation. Previously I’ve worked for companies such as Sony, Warner Bros., Lakeshore, Summit, Lionsgate, Alcon Entertainment as their Production Controller, Cast & Crew Entertainment as a Sr. Production Incentives Analyst, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios as a Financial Analyst and Production Accountant (so, I was close to my stop motion dream but, ended there ... maybe elsewhere? I know there's more puppets in the animated seas ...) My career started as an AD and I had all my requirements to go DGA however, around 2005, my mathematical mind drew me back over to accounting and eventually finance. I use both sides of my brain to create a marriage between the creative and fiscal components to endeavor to do my part assisting in bringing a quality piece of work to the screen while protecting my employer's interests. That dynamic has allowed me to see realistically as well as fiscally what a production may need. I’ve been blessed to work on one all phases of a film from inception to delivery and the historical reporting and audits thereafter. Being a minor tech geek I’ve worked on most accounting platforms and software so, know my way around what the systems can do to provide the most succinct and accurate information. As a rare bridge between production and corporate spending, and tying off of those two sets of books, I’ve been able to keep my companies abreast at all levels of planning what a project has already spent and where it will be heading. When you add me to the team you get a team player that fully believes clear and concise communication is critical to everyone’s success. Perhaps we'll work together in the future to create something great!
