"The Hive"
Santa Fe, New Mexico
08.2025 - 08.2025
- The Hive is an indie film shot in Santa Fe. This was a small production team led by 1st AD Melissa Bosco, with support from 2nd AD Eric Braun and only two other PAs for a majority of the shoot. Given the smaller budget and staff, the project demanded flexible teamwork and coordination to keep the shoot on its tight schedule and safe, even in the face of incliment weather and other unforseen challenges.

"The Silence Game"
Abiquiu, New Mexico
04.2025 - 04.2025
- This was another low budget indie project led by 1st AD Melissa Bosco. This project was largely exteriors in harsh and remote locations in Northern New Mexico and demanded a high degree of preperation and forsight from the PAs to adapt to the changing conditions and achieve the daunting scale of this shoot. Lacking a locations department or craft services, we stepped up to fill in the missing gaps in crew to ensure a well-functioning set.
