WORK EXPERIENCE
DIRECTOR
Finding what a show wants to communicate is one of the main goals I seek as a director. Concieving the show’s vision will lead me to find the best group of creatives I can work with so the vision I have in mind comes to life.
From day 0 of pre-production I dive into study the text and idea, audition the right people for the roles and convey my vision to cast and creatives.
Working as a team with cast, creatives, designers and tech crew, creating the show that will lead to Opening Night and choosing the right people to maintain the show are some of the greatest assets I have as a Director.
Producer
Responsible to make the production happen. It starts with conceiving the idea of the show or getting the proper license to produce certain title. From there, in charge of assembling the proper creative, administrative and marketing teams for the project.
Responsibilities such as getting investors interested, raising the funds, finding and closing the deal with the venue, making sure to find the proper technical and design teams for the project, manage and oversee all payments and transactions, getting the production to Opening Night and oversee it’s run continuing to monitor the production are just some of the responsibilities.
