Highlights
Labster NDSU
I had to staff a project that required finding a crew for a shoot in Fargo. While there is a production community in the area, our company had limited access and some budget constraints. So how did we solve the problem? I jumped in myself.
Because I’d recently moved to the Fargo area I led the charge with Directing and Producing the project with a local crew. The CreatorUp post team came in for the save and wrapped up the project, so I could go back to day to tasks.
