Hello,

As an Assistant, I offer amy proven ability to handle multiple tasks in a fast -paced environment with timely deadlines, give script notes, organize calendars and call logs, work with the state film offices to secure tax credits, oversee production reports, negotiate hotel rates, and work with local vendors to secure gear.

My skill set iwas cultivated fromby wearing multiple hats in a production environment. For example, while working on "Thoroughbred," I worked out a deal to begin the show as the Production Secretary and then move to Talent Assistant once pre-production ended. This was a calculated move on my part in order to work closely with the cast and producers while filming. Once shooting completed I returned to the production office to help wrap the show.

Some of my other accomplishments include:

• Oversaw Production Reports and worked with the Accounting Department to reckon crew work hours and extras reports.
• Created and automated system to project production vehicle rental costs.
• Worked with local vendors to successfully secure Lighting, Grip, and Camera equipment for the production.
• Successfully negotiated hotel rates to 40% below their asking price.
• Handled and organized script notes to be distributed to Producers and Crew.
• Oversaw the ingestion and distribution of daily files including camera reports, script notes, sound reports, DIT reports, and exhibit G’s.


CI am confident I will prove valuable to be a valuable asset. I respectfully submit my reésumeé for your review. I would also like to request a personal meeting to discuss your upcoming goals and how I can help you achieve them. I will make myself available at your convenience and look forward to your call. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Matt Cassaro
