CREATIVE PRODUCER
I've struggled to label my role in a concise and accurate way for many projects I collaborate on. I am, without a doubt, wearing the producer hat. But I do feel as if "producer" leaves out all the other juicy parts of the process my hands are all over.
Making budgets, securing locations, booking talent, tactfully moving hair and makeup along to stay on schedule, source props or in some cases make them, and maybe most importantly jumping in with ideas and solutions when I can feel the "it's not working" energy bubbling up on set.
I love get to work in tandem with the photographer to develop concepts, come up with ways to execute those concepts and all without looking like we are rocking a shoestring budge, (which, we sometimes, inevitably are).
So in order to honor both the artsy flare and logistical prowess I bring to the table, I have landed on creative producer. But please, if you have a better title for the gal that is sending out call sheet as well as jimmy rigging a donut to the end of a balloon, holler at me.
