Mandy Horan

I am a former professional Stage Manager (large scale production shows in Las Vegas and touring with Cirque du Soleil) who transitioned into the film world in 2017. I love working both in the AD team as a 3rd in larger projects, as a 2nd AD on TVCs and have goals to work my way up to becoming a 2nd AD on larger projects – I love a good excel spreadsheet, detailed paperwork, and scheduling.
I also have experience in assisting in production coordinating – mostly travel, accommodation and rental vehicles.

I am a long term Queenstown local with my own vehicle and would absolutely consider traveling for the right role.
