As a Video producer, I have been involved in a wide range of content production which includes mostly film, TV, photo and web content. Whether I am participating in the creation of commercial content or small independent projects, I am excited to work with a team of creative people and I am always eager to take on new challenges facing different and unexpected assignments. Speaking the facts, my favorite projects would have involved deliver on something that hasn’t been done before.

Mentioning 8+ years experience organizing different phases of production, I would like to point that I am familiar with evaluation of directors treatments, overseeing casting, shoots, music, and all components of preproduction and production activities, such as location scouting, field organization, shooting itself, permits, deliverables, and post-production organization. Facing a variety of projects and roles depending on the market offer and project scale, during professional experience I have gained the following skills and expertise:

  • Proficient financial skills with the ability to work within an estimated budget
  • Analytical and negotiation skills that help ensure competitive rates and secure the best creative partners available for each unique execution
  • The ability to manage schedules and plans in order to ensure timelines and meet deadlines, when necessary, step in a unit producer role
  • A familiarity with clearance and legal releases for authors engagement with great communication and negotiation skills in order to achieve project goals
  • Experience with managing production teams with 40+ members
  • Experience with PR for film, TV and small multimedia projects in the way of creation and execution campaigns
