Hi there! I’m Rachel.
I love planning, organizing, streamlining, and learning; also clever design, effective communication, travel, and great TV writing —
but more than anything, I love working with others and having a positive effect on their lives.
FILM & TV PRODUCTION
I’ve been working in film, TV, and commercials in NYC for over 15 years, most recently as an assistant director, producer, and coordinator. It’s been amazing to work alongside some of the most hardworking, talented people on the planet (and sometimes the actors aren’t bad either!). I learned how to plan & execute projects in collaboration with producers, directors, designers, & technicians, as well as how to manage teams, clients, and relationships with colleagues & vendors.
Notable CV items: 1st AD on Matchbox "Born to Fly" ad, 2nd 2nd AD on Beyoncé’s “Yoncé” video; 2nd AD on "Tha God's Honest Truth" promos, producer of 360° videos for The Met, Condé Nast, Cavit Wines, World Vision, and others. Coordinator for Chopped and VICE TV . 1st AD on CollegeHumor videos including Daria Movie Trailer (with Aubrey Plaza), How Hollywood Ruins Relationships (with Kristen Connolly), and personal favorite Apartment Hunting in NYC is the Worst (too true).

ORGANIZING
I started working with clients as an organizer in 2023 during the writers’ strike. I’ve always had a penchant for design but when I started working as a professional organizer I realized how much I LOVE helping people make sense of their space. And get rid of what they don’t want or need, and feature what they really love, and get connected with what makes them truly happy.
Assistant Directors need to be highly organized, have excellent communication skills, and work well under pressure. Their role is essential in maintaining a structured and efficient film set, allowing the director to focus on creative aspects of filmmaking. - ChatGPT
