Script this, supervise that…what it’s really like being the Script Supervisor
(All of the responsibilities, none of the glory)
In this episode, we take a closer look at what it feels like to be a script supervisor, and how our work on set also helps out in post. Plus, master script supervisor Mary Cybulski shares a revealing BTS story from the film “Life of Pi.” But first, we have an informative interview with the incomparable Dawn Gilliam.
Dawn’s multi-decade Script Supervising career began with Boyz n The Hood and includes groundbreaking and Academy Award-Winning and nominated films such as Black Panther, Fences, Star Wars: Episode IX and literally dozens of films and TV shows you’ve no doubt seen.
