My role / Production & Tour Manager, Documentary Production

I worked alongside the artists and documentary team on both sides of the story: helping shape what we made, and making sure it could actually happen.

01

On the creative side

Co-produced the documentary work, assisted on camera, and supported filming, photography and live performances.

The creative story

Project ATX6 brings a group of Austin musicians to music festivals around the world and captures the journey on film. From 2017 to 2020, I worked alongside the artists and the documentary team on both sides of the story: helping shape what we made, and making sure it could actually happen.

On the creative side

  • Co-produced the documentary work and assisted on camera.
  • Supported documentary filming, photography, and live performances on the road.
  • Created social media campaigns that brought the project to a growing audience.
