Joining Technicolor New York in early 2004 as Executive Producer, my first role was to help develop and implement the digital post production pipeline in our new facility in the West Village. We were an early advocate for the Digital Intermediate process as well as Digital Acquisition and collaborated on such independent films as Prairie Home Companion, Find Me Guilty and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. In 2007, my career brought me to Technicolor in Los Angeles where I was focused on growing our services to support the independent community. Most recently I hold a position that oversees the integration of our production workflows starting with camera acquisition through post production and delivery.
