Skill set (7)
Connie in a few words
I have extensive experience in production overseeing projects from conception through to delivery. As a freelance producer, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects from digital content, scripted film/tv, TVC, events and activations with budgets up to $1.3M AUD. Through this work, I have developed the ability to scope projects and create budgets and timelines that are realistic and achievable. I have also honed my skills in working closely with creative and account management teams to ensure that clients' requirements and creative vision are met.
In addition, I am highly skilled in managing production teams and handling pre-production, on-site, and post-production activities. I have a proven track record of sourcing and maintaining supplier, talent, crew, and contractor relationships while negotiating costs to stay within production budgets. I am proficient in creating production paperwork, including risk assessments, release forms, contracts, waivers, and NDAs.
Throughout my career, I have developed a reputation for being a detail-oriented and results-driven professional. I have a passion for collaborating with creative teams, managing projects efficiently, and delivering high-quality work that exceeds clients' expectations.
