Bazillion Pictures has brought aboard executive producer Heather Christiansen who will be the primary project management producer providing bids and defining scopes of work. She will also oversee project scheduling for the growing 3D animation and visual effects studio.
Christiansen spent many years on the West Coast before returning to her Midwest roots, most recently as a creative operations director at a healthcare marketing firm. She also has worked on independent films in a production manager role, handling multiple responsibilities from developing production schedules and negotiating contracts to casting talent and location scouting.
“Heather brings a comprehensive knowledge of project management and understands how to take care of clients through the entire production process,” said Jeff Beith, president and creative director of Bazillion Pictures. “With her experience on the business side and her background in design, she will be a huge asset to our team of digital artists, animators and editors.”
