flickfolks – Crew/ Talent/ Projects/ Gear/ Jobs

Eugene here, I’m writing to express my interest the position of Casting Assistant, Costume Designer Assistant, PA, Production Coordinator or any other vacancies your looking to fill with your upcoming production,

Most recently I held the position of Assistant to the Casting Director of a BEATS by DRE Commercial starring several major pro athletes. Prior to this I was Executive Assistant to the Casting Director and Consultant to the Costume Designer for a star studded feature film that is to be released in 2014 entitled ‘Blame it on the Hustle’. I have also recently held the position of Executive Assistant to the Producer of a television series that is currently in production.

Other recent experiences of mine consist of working with various companies within the fashion industry including a contemporary women’s wear designer, a bespoke men’s and women’s wear design house, a fashion magazine, as well as a couture jewelry design house. I’ve done everything within these companies, from fashion direction / costume design, to styling, to show production and coordination, to sponsorship, to marketing and PR, to social media management, to executive level & personal assistant work. I’ve also recently worked on set with ESPN filming a documentary piece for Ernie Grunfeld and Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Bernard King. I’m looking to make a career for myself within the creative industry as it is something that I am so very passionate about. Allow me an opportunity to prove my aesthetic and work ethic to you.

I produced the jewelry company’s New York Fashion Week F/W 2013 show. I coordinated press / media sponsors, models, venue, VIP guests… the whole gamut. I should mention that I also assisted with the production of Brooklyn Fashion Week. I assure you, if you give me the opportunity you will not regret it.

Prior to moving to New York I worked within the service industry professionally. While working in the service industry I acquired a solid set of skills that I feel will go hand in hand with the requirements of this position. I have experience as an office manager for a specialty retail company, as a general manager of a fine dining restaurant, and much more. I am therefor adept at building rapport with and offering rich experiences to perfect strangers on a daily basis. I am extremely professional, very organized, well written, and adept at developing relationships. I am by nature a very warm and personable person. I love and enjoy what I do and it shows!

I thank you kindly in advance for your consideration of me as a candidate for this opportunity. I implore you to reach out to me via phone at 413-557-8410 or via email at [email protected] once you’ve made the right decision. I look forward to hearing from you.
