What it was

Troublemaker Studios is Robert Rodriguez's film studio in Austin. Its visual effects ran through Alchemy, and I managed VFX projects for both.

Why it mattered

Film dates don't move. Managing effects shots taught me how to run a schedule that can't slip.

A lasting respect for anyone who ships on a release date.
