I interviewed Project Manager Peter Koziell of Award Productions located in Boston, Massachusetts.
Can you briefly define your job to me?
-I am the Senior Project Manager for a small video production company called Award Productions. I am a shooter, editor and project manager in which I help with project estimates and costs.
How did you get started?
-I graduated from college and worked for a public access station. After six months, I realized it wasn't for me and took a shooting job at WPDE-TV (an ABC affiliate) in Myrtle Beach and also worked for WYFF-TV (NBC affiliate) in the Grreenville/Spartanburg area for 2 years. I have been at Award Productions for 11 years.
How do you tell your boss that you cant accomplish an assigned task?
-First figure out "why?." Is it your busy and you dont have time? What are the legitimate reasons you can't accomplish what is asked of you. Then, sit down with your boss, prioritize and find a solution. Always be honest with your boss.
Do you have any advice for a media student starting out?
-Try to do internships even if they're short opportunities to shadow. At first, you may be a food runner or asked to take out the trash, but stay focused. If you get into those positions, there are always opportunities for movement and to work your way up.
