Nathan Roberts
@nathanroberts
Production and tech assistant specializing in festival setups, AV support, and digital media.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Production Assistant who keeps live events running smoothly—setting up production equipment, managing craft services, and staging rooms for screenings and panels. I’ve supervised red carpets for movie premieres and handled load-ins/load-outs to ensure everything’s ready on time.
Across tech and AV work, I drive production vehicles, coordinate equipment for tech crews, set up projectors/cameras/sound systems, and support live meetings with sound-board operation and presentations. I also bring creative media strength from my Digital Cinema training, including editing in DaVinci Resolve and creating screenwriting projects that have earned recognition.
