Amanda Yerby

I serve as a pre-production resource hub for over 1,500 students, helping to resolve union, casting, permitting, and insurance-related issues. I manage the procurement and distribution of production media to hundreds of students and dozens of faculty members. Additionally, I am responsible for promoting student production information through bulk emails, class talks, website updates, and social media. I also supervise a team of 10 student workers who support administrative tasks and create social media content.

I produce micro-budget independent films by securing funding through grants and crowdfunding, outlining budgets, obtaining permits, hiring crew, coordinating schedules and transportation, and securing rights and clearances. I ensure all productions follow safety protocols and handle the filing of necessary paperwork once production wraps.

I led technical training for students on the proper use of camera and audio equipment and performed quality control checks on the equipment

I assisted the national, local, foreign, and sports departments by providing friendly customer service, troubleshooting printer issues, and handling basic office duties as needed. Additionally, I produced lottery and weather components, as well as a single-page edition for a Japanese newspaper
