Answers from Crane Stephen

Other than your current job, what other job in the entertainment industry do you dream of doing?

Recently I have been passionately seeking out a unique, dynamic career opportunity within the Entertainment and Media Industry. A challenging, engaging position as part of an exciting, vibrant team, in which the development of a successful project or property is as much dependant upon its creative strategic planning and innovative development ideas as the dedicated professionals behind them. My objective here is to find entrance, gain experience and learn from talented, dedicated professionals within the industry community.

The broad range of my 15 years professional and personal experience, a BA, MBA and JD as well as direct work experience with development, intellectual property issues, and digital media, is representative of how I might be able to quickly become a valuable, active and engaging participant with your client.

Qualitative skills of mine include:

- Proven leadership skills, with a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate ideas, expectations and goals, while working with and through others to achieve results;
- Being highly adaptive, with an ability to acquire the skills and knowledge to become immediately effective;
Skilled in multitasking while handling tight deadlines and pressure situations;
- Able to navigate complex initiatives and multidimensional interactions/transactions; and
- A notable international and multicultural background, including significant experience in Asia.
