If you'd like, please check out my website at: www.crystalaplace.com for a bit more about what I do and the services I'd be thrilled to offer to you and your team.

A bit about me: I have managed shoots with as little as 3 people to ones with 3 dozen+. I have experience shooting all over the country working on commercials, documentaries, corporate & non-profit videos, short films and feature films, and have been 1st A.D., grip, basic editor (Avid), casting manager, location scout, Producer, & Director. A 16 hour day doesn't phase me, and I'm usually still smiling at the end. I'm in the business because I love it & the people in it, and I bring that attitude with me on every project. It's hard work, but with the right perspective it can be good fun too.

I am also an active participant in the local Film Community, frequently taking part in workshops, 48 Hour Film projects, assisting in local film festivals and continually meeting and collaborating with other filmmakers. While my love affair is with directing, I am also neurotically organized, know how to handle tight production schedules and large production crews, and have a sense of humor while doing it. I am professional, efficient and reliable, and hope to hear from you if you are currently crewing up your next show or feature!

Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to call anytime!

Kind regards,
Crystal
