This production was both exciting and challenging to manage as an Assistant Director. Day 1 was a breeze—we had the luxury of overbooking a location for just a few shots, allowing the director to work at their own pace. However, the majority of the film was shot in a small apartment on a high floor of a building still under construction. With a large crew and extensive equipment to manage, the logistical hurdles were significant.

Recognizing an opportunity to streamline the process, I collaborated closely with department heads to cut an entire day of production without compromising quality. By optimizing the schedule and prioritizing team efficiency, we captured outstanding performances and beautiful coverage of the scenes. This approach not only saved time and money but also minimized the effort required to move equipment in and out of such a challenging location, keeping the team motivated and the production running smoothly.
