Ronja Mankinen

2nd 2nd AD / PA

Future 2nd Assistant Director Ronja is one of the members we attached into the gang after the 1st edition of BBG AD Bootcamp.

Ronja is calm, quiet and focused worker. She pays a lot of attention to details and has proven to have a special skill on creating draft breakdowns, call sheets and schedules. On her previous productions she’s been able to work side by side with some of our most experienced AD’s learning the tips and tricks of the daily paperwork. We can’t wait to see what she’ll become after gaining more experience and technical understanding of filmmaking.

Ronja’s superpower has been always delivering top class drafts for the executive 2nd AD to finalise before distributing. She’s also fluent worker in MMS having prepared breakdown drafts for 1st AD’s to dive into. She feels she’s at her best in a hectic production environment when she can evolve her skills and challenge herself. Besides the office work Ronja’s former duties have included helping on basic PA duties on set, cast and crowd management and daily logistics.

Currently Ronja is in the beginning stage of her career. Above all else she’s interested in evolving her skills and open for all work possibilities in the industry. Her logical next steps are either working as a 2nd AD on a light, local production or in any assisting jobs in production, AD and casting departments.
