Though Craig was a late addition to the central Theatre Ops team, he was the perfect fit for this new management role. Without a lot of direction, Craig jumped into the duties given to him with ease and a great approach. He was flexible with his schedule and open to taking on whatever tasks were given to him. I was always confident that things were under control when Craig was on site at the theatre. He has a great attitude which makes him very easy to work with. He is also very professional when dealing with lots of different groups. He was available to his team and supported them as much as he could. We would love to have him back for future Festivals!

Craig, from the moment you arrived at the Film Office HQ you had an innate sense of what I needed help with and got the job done, time after time. You had a great attitude and we were able to instill a sense of calm and fun in our work environment that seemed to trickle down to the film teams, talent and entourages which resulted in drama-free, enjoyable and on-time screenings. We established a system for Premiere load-ins at our first screening that worked so well that we just took our positions at all subsequent Premiere screenings without the need for me to ever instruct you again unless we had a change in plans. You were always on time, never asked to leave early and never hesitated to help me with any requests. You rolled with the punches and was always upbeat, no matter how exhausted I was, you were there to put a smile back on my face and reinvigorate me. My teams embraced you and although you'd just entered the picture, you could be trusted to get the job done. I really can't say enough about you and it's not because I feel I've made a life-long friend, you are just the friggin' bomb!!
