Description
Greetings, my name is Joseph Sweredoski and over the past four years I have produced several production intensive short films, directed films with as many as 40-70 people involved, and held an internship under professional prop master Vern Crofoot on a professional feature film set. I have also produced a few smaller commercials for local businesses and now I would like to produce for you.
Whether you're looking at filming a commercial, a TV show, a film, or anything else, I will help you from beginning to end in acquiring and managing the resources necessary in seeing your ideas to fruition - all while staying under budget. Specific examples of expertise includes:
-- Finding and securing film friendly and visually inspiring locations
-- Acquiring on screen talent
-- Finding film crew with styles and personalities ideal for your set
-- Acquiring extras
-- Scheduling
-- Budgeting
-- Finding (or building) props necessary to your project
-- Finding appropriate costumes
-- Organizing auditions and rehearsals
And much, much more.
Share with me your dreams and I will do my very best to prove to you that they can become a reality.
Below is my resume. I thank you for consideration and look forward to hearing back from you.
