About me

I'm Ethan Lewis, Production Manager / Film & TV Development

I came up through Local Boy DJ, a Southern California event production company, starting as an intern in 2017 and working up to Production Manager. I built the company's lighting division, standardized how shows are programmed and run, and co-built its TikTok channel to 590,000 followers.

On the film side, I was Production Manager on the UCLA thesis film Society: a $10,000 budget, a 50-person crew, and every schedule, permit, COI and vendor that came with it. At Amazon I supervised 110+ associates on an inbound floor moving about 90,000 packages a day.

The common thread is building the systems that let creative work happen on time and on budget. Development is where I'm headed: finding the story worth telling, and knowing what it takes to get it made.
