Summary

I have worked as a sound mixer and boom operator for multitude of projects. I recently branched out to producing for a couple of projects as well which I did location scouting and worked to secure the rights to film at North Park in Allegheny county. I also negotiated with local police to secure permission to film a scene that involves a cop pulling someone over on a public road. I volunteered at the 3 Rivers film festival last November as well. I have experience with setting up mics on actors and mic operations in general like lavs or shotgun mics.
