Production Co-Ordinator

Ally’s coordinating skills come to her very naturally. Long before she started booking crews, publishing call sheets & locking down locations, she would call all her friends, tell them when to bring the keg, and hold the house party ten minutes after her parents had pulled out of the driveway. In 1998, these untapped skills finally starting paying dividends when a friend offered her work re-organizing the tape library for Discovery Channel’s Storm Warning. She has been organizing, scheduling, renting, hiring, and adding skills to her bag of tricks for Vancouver production companies ever since.  She joined forces with Sue in June 2008, and is currently coordinating production and supervising post-production for the award-winning documentaries created by the talented team at Dreamfilm.
