Responsibilities:
Production managed multiple shoots for Metallica Saved My Life, a feature documentary exploring the lives of Metallica superfans, including complex overseas shoots on the Arctic coast. I was responsible for all aspects of health and safety, including risk assessments, call sheets, and monitoring crew working hours.
Across post-production, I worked closely with editors through multiple cuts and revisions of the film, while managing all clearances for contributors, archival material, and locations. I acted as the main point of contact for all contributors, ensuring smooth communication throughout production.
I coordinated and managed multiple premieres across the US, organised crew travel and liaised with the Director on travel arrangements for screenings, and audio mix sessions in Sweden. I scheduled and facilitated production and post-production meetings, attended edits and monitored project costs.
