My role, as the Producer, is to plan and coordinate the whole of the Major Project.  My job is to look at the big picture, instead of the finite details.  I am also in charge of scheduling, budgeting, and social media and marketing campaigns.  I’ve always been great at organising and I like to be in charge of people, delegating tasks and leading people to success.  The role of the Producer is the best way to show my skills as a leader and organiser.  Also, I want to go into Producing in my professional career, so this is a great place to start.  I chose this project due to how our Writer, Greg, sold the story and concept. I am extremely excited to work on this film and to produce something that caught my eye the moment I read the logline. I love history and films that portray the past onscreen, so it’s a perfect fit to be the Producer of this film.  My favourite films include...
