    • Peter Elliott Prods.

      Aug 1988 - Dec 1989
      Production Coordinator

      Out of college, I worked in the glamorous world of commercials as a Production Assistant. My start was not just scheduling crew, managing craft service and the video asset library. I also sifted through cereal, fruit and cat food for 12 - 14 hours to find the "heroes" that appeared in the commercials. Peter Elliott was a fantastic director that was a true perfectionist. My Midwestern work ethic paid off as I found the perfect shrimp for the cat commercial!
