2nd AD Crowd
Calm, sharp and simply charming – Salli is your go-to-person when it comes to crowds and casting!
Having worked with both local and international productions Salli is someone who’s flexible on all needs. Especially loving the set work Salli feels being at their best when focusing on directing of crowds and featured extras. She’s fast on creating suitable atmospheres to make the scenes look realistic and natural. On the side she’s also experienced on crowd casting on multiple productions.
Salli’s former productions vary from more lightweight series into larger scale sets. She knows her way around intimate scenes with few extras and big scenes with crowds and vehicles. For her next productions Salli is happy to jump on either or something in between – and she’d be especially keen of also trying out her wings as a 2nd AD handling call sheets. She’s had some experience of handling daily production documents on few of her earlier productions and is currently self-educating herself better regarding eg. working conditions.
Besides their work on the AD’s department Salli has passion for writing and directing. She’s completed multiple independent short films and music videos on these positions and is hoping to evolve their skills into features and series in the future.
