Mel Bestel - Crew

I am a Grassroots Marketing Coordinator and Social Media Executive working across the release of independent films in my area, and a long term freelancer with Birds Eye View to support its mission to *Reclaim The Frame*. I have experience with social media, grassroots marketing and events management and great contacts in my local area. I take pride in my ability to adapt quickly to new challenges and love making new connections with people to create action based results. I have also worked as a Production and Floor Runner on a variety of features, short films and commercials. Recently I worked closely with an award-winning director and producer team as a Casting PA and First Assistant Director on a project called Strong Is Better Than Angry for the Uncertain Kingdom. Since June 2021 I have worked closely with the exec producer of a Warner Brothers film due to shoot in Glasgow, and as of August I have been assistant to the directors of this high budget film, assisting with script meetings, coordinating storyboard artists, all manner of scheduling across global time-frames, and the myriad other duties that assisting a directing due entails. I am also keen to expand my network and consider roles in both production and film marketing as well as connecting with film-making creatives to create development opportunities.
