Producer based in NYC.
I read a fancy French word in a book - “débrouillard.” It translates literally to “defog,” but is most conventionally used to describe someone who is resourceful, the one you turn to in a scramble to get your head above water. In the Midwest, we called it being scrappy.
As a producer, I take pride in wearing many hats and solving problems big and small. Being a production Swiss Army knife is my specialty; I’ve been a producer, an AD, a talent wrangler, a production manager, a production coordinator, a travel coordinator, a casting producer, a copywriter, a PA, and so much more - sometimes all on one job.
