NO SMALL TALK: usc single-camera sitcom pilot — Line producer
No Small Talk is a single-camera sitcom pilot produced at the USC School of Cinematic Arts in CTPR 484 — the largest production offered in the fall semester. It is a surreal, comedic depiction of dating during COVID.
As the line producer for this production, I managed a budget of $24,000, coordinated with five remote production bubbles across four states, managed equipment delivery between vendors, cast, and crew, and oversaw the shooting schedule.
I learned first-hand the importance of communication and organization during virtual production. With five separate shooting bubbles across three time zones, I had to ensure that our departments were organized and well-equipped for whatever curveballs were thrown our way.
No Small Talk can be seen on Vimeo.
Nerding out for a cause (NOFAC!) — creator/Showrunner/editor
Nerding Out For A Cause (NOFAC!) — is a ten-installment web series dedicated to deep dives on the Marvel universe in order to raise money for the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund. From comic book origins to Marvel Studios appearances, episode sponsors would donate a specific amount of money to the NAACP LDF to select their character.
My responsibilities on the project included writing our scripts, hosting the episodes, cutting the content together on Adobe Premiere Pro, and creating motion graphics.
By the end of the summer, the team and I created 10 episodes available on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube and raised over $4000 for the NAACP LDF.
