It is very hard to describe what I do because it could be anything from casting, to producing to booking travel arrangements on a day to day basis.<BR/><BR/>Then of course there's the wardrobe and props which is a whole other beast. <BR/><BR/>Regardless, if it's an ad I still think of what I do as art. I know I'm just selling junk but I love my job.
