Marty Katz Productions

At Marty Katz Productions I worked with veteran producer and former Disney Production VP Marty Katz. Acting as his second assistant, I handled heavy phones, scheduling, and script coverage. During this period, the production company was in pre-production of a large-budget motion picture, and I learned a lot about booking talet and crew, finding locations, and budgeting for international production. This was a fantastic experience that gave me fantastic insight into the challenges of producing.

Columbia College Hollywood


At Columbia College Hollywood, I learned the basics of every job in the entertainment industry. From camera operating to sound, directing to running cable, I gained a great amount of physical production experience. My especially strong areas were production management, sound mixing, and operation of the multi-camera television studio.

At Columbia I also sharpened my writing skills, gained insight into Hollywood Business Practices & History, and perfected my troubleshooting abilities. After my experience at CCH, I feel I am ready for anything the industry can throw at me.

A graduation requirement at Columbia is to do your own short film. Since I am very TV-oriented, I did a short sitcom pilot, I Love You to Love Me. Click here to check it out.
