Well, you've come this far, you must want to know something. I am an Assistant Director in Hollywood. Sounds important right? Mostly that means I do a lot of paperwork, get to work on some fun shows, and hang out with some interesting, and a few not-so interesting people. What IS an Assistant Director, you ask? Now that's a good question. Simply put, an Assistant Director is the on-set manager for the production company. Typically there is a First Assistant Director, a Key Second Assistant Director and a Second Second Assistant Director. Our job is to make sure the director gets all the work done for the day that he or she wants. That means we schedule the day's work, make sure cast and crew are where they should be when they should be there, and make sure all the elements needed are there. That means making sure the costumers and the property folks and the grips and electricians and the camera department all know where we are working, what we are working on and most importantly to any production, what time lunch is.   I am a Second Assistant Director. My job includes fascinating things like scheduling the next days work, directing all the extras in a scene, supervising the make-up and hair process with the actors, schedule the cast arrival times, pass out countless pages of revisions, announcments, schedules, and other assorted things, making a million phone calls at the end of the day and solving a dozen different problems all at once. Usually these things all happen at the same time. I am currently working on.. well, my vacation.. got a show for me? I have recently been a Second Assistant Director for the new installment of Star Trek, called Enterprise. I have spent a lot of time on some sitcom's, including NewsRadio. I also have worked on Star Trek:Voyager now and then along with a variety of other shows. Work is good. Who am I? Wow, you are full of good questions today. Okay, my life in a paragraph. I was born. I grew up. I went to school. I went to college. After college, I worked around Florida as a television news photograper. When taking pictures of dead people, car wrecks, city council meetings, and pretty weather pictures no longer interested me, I began freelancing. I shot commercials, weddings, documentaries (Ask me about my six months in Ecuador sometime) and basically anything anyone would pay me to shoot (Don't ask me about that.) During this time, I began taking the Assistant Directors Training Program test. After several tries, they finally relented and let me in, and I completed two wonderful years of on the job training at low pay and long hours. I graduated from the Training Program and now enjoy my life as an Assistant Director.   What is the Assistant Directors Training Program? Well, they made their own web site, find it on my Links page and go see. If you are interested, get an application. How can you reach me? I thought you would never ask.
