What Did I Do?

Calloway is a feature-length action comedy about Rick Calloway, a professional con artist who ends up partnered with a federal agent to take down an untouchable Vegas kingpin by pulling off the biggest con of his life. I was one of three Production Managers on the project, and I handled the full development pipeline on my side while working with my team to build out the larger production structure.

This project required real industry-level problem solving. I wrote the development notes and the treatment, researched and built the state and tax incentive strategy that led us to choose Louisiana for its 30 to 40 percent refundable film tax credit, and designed both the teaser poster and the main poster. I also marked the entire script with production notes. I co-built the budget and shooting schedule for a one point three two million dollar, 30 day production based in New Orleans. I also collaborated on the casting strategy, location plan, and full marketing campaign.

The biggest takeaway from Calloway was understanding what it actually means to move a feature project from the page into a production-ready package. It taught me how these documents work together and, more importantly, the decisions behind them.
