  New Line Cinema

  Aug 2005 - Feb 2010

  After my internship in the Development Department, I was hired to assist SVP Matt Moore during his final months at New Line Cinema. Once that task was complete, I was requested by my former intern supervisor, Michael Disco, to return to help cover his and Sam Brown's desks as newly promoted Directors of Development for one year. In 2007 I became solely responsible for the desk of Michael Disco. When Warner Brothers absorbed New Line Cinema, he received another promotion of Vice President of Production where I became Executive Assistant I.During my time on these three desks I learned the tremendous amount of intricacies within developmental and production workflow, received daily experience on calls with managers, agents, producers, writers, actors and directors throughout the course of individual project preparation and execution, and was called upon to provide support both administratively and creatively for many employees in the company, including CEO Bob Shaye, President of Production Toby Emmerich, President of Production Richard Brener, Chief Operating Officer Carolyn Blackwood, SVP Michele Weiss, VP Keith Goldberg, VP Dave Neustadter and others outside of our direct departmental structure in Business Affairs, Legal, International, Scheduling, Marketing and Physical Production.
