If you've ever worked on set you know the critical importance of the Assistant Director (AD) department. And also, that a production has nothing without good, clean sound. In that spirit, meet our lead AD and Sound instructors for Crew Boot Camp! Allison Jackson discovered her keen ear and love of sound while studying at the London Film School. Having worked 5 years as an indie sound mixer, she was given the opportunity to mix tandem episodes for all 3 seasons of the tv series ‘The Following’. After that show ended, she gradually made the shift to mixing full time. More contacts were made, more experience gained, and she now works full time as a mixer. She still learns from every job, strives for perfection in every job, and has yet to lose her love of sound. Derek Wimble is a 1st AD whose Film and TV credits include BULL, Blindspot, The Girl on the Train, The Americans, Annie, White Collar, Life of Pi, Unforgettable, Eat Pray Love, and How to Make it in America. Brendan Lynch-Littlejohn is a 1st AD & DGA Member since 2011. He got his DGA start working as an Additional 2nd AD back on the original GOSSIP GIRL & has since become a 1st AD, working on projects such as GOTHAM (FOX), THE SINNER (USA), 13: THE MUSICAL (NETFLIX), the GOSSIP GIRL reboot (HBO Max) & most recently the final season of MANIFEST (NETFLIX).
