✨ My Journey to Script Coordination: From Assistant to Expert ✨

It all started with a leap of faith on my very first feature film, "uwantme2killhim?" (Jumping Jack Films/Bad Hat Harry/Anonymous Content) I stepped into the role of the producer's assistant for Simon Crocker, not knowing that it would be the beginning of an incredible journey in script coordination. Part of my responsibilities included inputting the writer's script revisions and preparing scripts for cast and crew distribution - a task that was entirely new and intimidating (I really had no idea what I was doing!) but immediately captivated me. 

Despite being new to the role, I found myself drawn to the intricacies of script formatting and coordination. It was a challenge, but one that I embraced wholeheartedly. Little did I know, this would set the stage for my future career path.

Due to this experience, and the hands-on training I received in scriptwriting and Final Draft while studying for my Masters of Film & TV from Bond University in Australia (Thank you Dr Molly Kasinger, Shawn Kasinger and Simon David Hunter!), my unique talents in script coordination began to shine. Thanks to my rare skills and dedication, I quickly gained a reputation in the industry. Productions began seeking me out, aware of my ability to prepare scripts for filming, resolve formatting issues, and track revisions with precision.

I didn't set out to become a script coordinator—it found me. And I couldn't be happier about it. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to contribute to the magic of storytelling in film and television. From my beginnings as a producer's assistant to my current role as a trusted script coordinator, I'm grateful for every twist and turn that has led me to where I am today.

To anyone aspiring to follow a similar path - perhaps not just in script coordination but in film and television in general - my advice is simple: embrace every opportunity, never stop learning (particularly Final Draft if you want to do script work; a printed copy of the software's manual is a great thing to have!) and let your passion guide you. The journey may not always be straightforward, but the destination is worth it.
