get specific people with specific cloths and they

take on everyday.

challenge because we shot at several locations

including a night club.

was titled Regular Joe. The film was an ultra low

budget SAG film. This film is where I got my

knowledge of a working film set. I worked as a

PA. Since the film was so low budget I was

working in a different department almost

everyday. I demonstrated such leadership that I

was put in charge of being the head of craft

services. I was excited to be entrusted to a

department all my own. I soon found out that I

had one of the most important jobs on set! If the

crew was not caffeinated and provided snacks and

meals at outlined times they were less

productive. I had to rely on my organization

skills to make sure everything along as

scheduled. I also had to use my creativity to

come up with new options for meals and snacks.
