I’m an Associate Producer for Citizen Pictures. I’ve been here for just over three months and have already worked on some fun, edgy, delicious and very interesting projects. One of the best things about my job is that I get to work with the programming and corporate departments- which means I have the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of Citizen’s creative production efforts…
I spent my first month as a Citizen employee in LA with members of the programming team shooting episodes of "Giada at Home". I loved the fast-paced, hardworking environment and had the opportunity to work with an outstandingly talented group of people (and eat a lot of really good food!). After getting a taste of working on a Food Network show, I am now fully committed to expanding my cooking skills beyond pasta with jarred pesto and the occasional stir fry.
I came back to Colorado and got started on a completely different project with the fabulous corporate team. This sizzling assignment, “Midnight Lounge,” was a spot promoting Dish Network’s adult entertainment channels (ya.... try explaining that one to your grandmother over Christmas dinner…one word: awkward). Transitioning from gourmet meals with Giada to watching girls dance to “Love, Sex and Magic” at the casting all day (the one on our stage- not the one at the strip club… that’s a whole other blog) was a big change. Still I couldn’t be happier with the experience of working on these projects or more proud of the final products. They are both definitely worth a look…. and I think everyone will see something they like. If this is what I got to do during my first few months on the job, I can’t wait to see what lands on my desk next!
