DUANE JOURNEY |
|
|
Duane Journey has been hanging around the film/television industry for over twenty five years. In that time he has done everything from Casting Assistant to Executive in Charge of Production. Duane learned about film making from the inside out on such Hollywood “mega-hits” as LOBSTER MAN FROM MARS, ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOS and WAXWORK to some more obscure television titles such as ALIAS, FELICITY, SIENFIELD, and MAD ABOUT YOU. There was also a cult fave that some of you might have heard of MEN IN BLACK.
But seriously, he has worked on over 85 productions, including studio features, indies, sitcoms, episodic series, commercials and music videos. All this time on set as a Gaffer, Dolly Grip, Key Grip, Production Manager, First AD, Line Producer and Producer gives him a great knowledge and appreciation for the real magic behind Hollywood.
Duane loves the “behind-the-scenes” and wants to share his many experiences and “working Hollywood” friends with everyone who is interested film and video production. |
