Why So Serious

Live Event Manager & Production Assistance

To say I worked on Why So Serious is a bit of a stretch compared to my normal roles on projects – really, I wasn’t much more than an Assistant to the Production Assistants. I chipped in when they needed some extra hands by stuffing envelopes and checking over websites before they were released. However, I also did some location scouting, puzzle design, and managed a couple of the ground teams for the live events surrounding the release of the Jokerized Trailer. I think that Why So Serious is some of 42 Entertainment’s best work and it was a real treat to be contracting with them while the project was running.
