I think it’s a fortuitous sign if your first money making venture of the year is in your chosen field. This was my view last night while recording the nominee narration for this year’s Parnelli Awards show.

Expand commentI like your intro/pitch in this thread. I’ve known and used PRG since the they rented 1 bldg on NY’s westside. You must be a powerhouse to hold that position. How did your search go? What are you doing now? I do lighting in various ways in film/tv. I also started lightscameradiaspora.org to share skills between here and Africa. We share technical skills, knowledge and equipment between Hollywood and Africa. christian@lightscameradiaspora.org

Expand commentI was a powerhouse. It was PRG’s IT department that gave me the actual title of “finder of impossible things”. They even made it my email address while I was there. COVID definitely was an unwanted interruption to my career trajectory, but I’ve been working as a freelance purchasing consultant and that’s been moderately successful. Currently I’m working with MBSE on a long term project, and just wrapped up a project with The Car Stage in NY for a new permanent rigging installation. Tomorrow I have a phone interview with Paramount for a post production purchasing executive position, which would be a full time, permanent job. Fingers crossed.

Ideally, I’d like to work at a major studio as their “finder of impossible things”; that one piece of equipment, prop, set piece, paint color, flavor of gum, or whatever that must be found or the show cannot go on. I’m great under pressure — I’m at my best when I’m inundated with weird requests, at the last minute, with a live studio audience in the house.
