About

Introduction & Background

Hi! My name is Adrienne, or "Addie" - whatever is easier to remember. I grew up in a small town on the coast of Maine and studied psychology and film production out in Oregon and California. After school, I received a phone call from an old classmate - "The Walking Dead" TV Show was hiring in Georgia and needed help in the Location Department from time to time. While this isn't what I ever intended to pursue, I figured it was a "foot-in-the-door" and took the chance.

After working in Locations for nearly 10 years, I decided I was ready for a change. While there is a certain thrill of finding, securing, and managing locations that comes with each gig, the 80+ hour work weeks put a damper on things over time. I opted to make a change.

Currently, I'm working on taking online classes in software engineering and hope to switch gears to software engineering entirely, but also take side film gigs on occasion to help make this transition.

I also just got a puppy with my partner, so we have been busy training her and trying to control the madness.
