Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#7 - How to be a Key Makeup Artist
Q: What are your tips on having energy throughout the day?
Try your best to take care of yourself, sleep, drink water, and fuel yourself, because it is kind of like a marathon.
#7 - How to be a Key Makeup Artist
Q: What would be your piece of advice of how to get into a chair?
I would say honestly, taking every job that you can possibly get in the beginning, because I feel like that's where you build experience.
#5 - How to be an Assistant Location Manager
Q: What's one thing you would love other departments to know about locations?
I would want them to know that we work very heavily with the city, and the thing is, usually when people say that, they automatically just assume Atlanta.
#5 - How to be an Assistant Location Manager
Q: How do you excel in this role? So what are different traits, character traits, personality traits that someone would really excel in this role having?
The biggest thing for me personally would be caring, and the reason why I put this first is that I feel that Hollywood tends to have this really dark, hazy bubble over it, where because it's such a fast-paced industry, people tend to be very cranky.
#5 - How to be an Assistant Location Manager
Q: What would be next steps for you up your ladder? Where would you like to go or where does this maybe lead to?
The next step for me would be to be a key assistant location manager, then location manager. I also have this goal to produce my own projects and hopefully UPM as well for Union Projects.
