Briar Greenhalgh has been working on the logistics side of the film industry for over 15 years, when she started as a Production Assistant on the CBC Series Wild Roses. Since then, she has been the Production Manager on two feature films, several documentaries and web series, and countless commercials and corporate videos. She's a sucker for a spreadsheet, and spends her days managing budgets, contracts, crew, permits, insurance, and all of the other details that keep a film company running. When she's not planning a shoot, she's planning her next visit to a Disney Theme Park.
