  Production Assistant - Red Room

  My first experience working on an APN was on the set of a short film titled "Red Room," written by a fellow student named Stephen Harrison. This opportunity allowed me to witness firsthand the work of a film crew and learn about the various departments involved in the production. Thanks to the valuable lessons I learned in my classes, I could keep pace with the team and gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of filmmaking.

  First Assistant Director - The Closet

  Being in a leadership position for the first time since my military service was nerve-racking. Initially, I was nervous because I usually tried to handle everything independently without seeking assistance. However, my team was incredibly supportive, and they helped me overcome my fear of relying on them for help. Their encouragement and collaboration made for a truly fantastic experience.
