My role on a set is a supporting role. It's a good day on set when I have nothing to do, but when called into service my work makes a difference for the cast and crew. I am a Set Medic. It may look like I am just hanging out in the background...in reality I am constantly scanning to catch things early that can cause issues on a set. Whether it's potential safely hazards or just dehydration, identifying and mitigating these issues early will help the production run smoothly.My ultimate goal is to maintain the health and well being of everyone on set; Principle talent, background, crew, and visitors.
