SITUATION
​
I had the opportunity to work with a production team to bring my commercial idea to life. This included pitching my idea to film professionals and also directing a team of filmmakers on set. Working on this project was a huge learning curve, showcasing the immense amount of work that goes into film productions from start to finish. I learned about the importance of communication as a leader, how to trust a team, and that other's skills and expertise are necessary to make ideas come to life.
