Dear XXX:

XXX worked for me as my assistant for one year. I recommend her without qualification for the XXX program.

While working in commercial production, I often relied on XXX to put together creative presentations, for which she described and outlined the artistic approach to the project, researching illustrations and photographic reference materials. Her creativity, resourcefulness and ability to see a project through really made these presentations distinctive and successful.

When we went into production on the feature film XXX, XXX was able to observe every step of the process, sitting in on meetings and working with people in all areas of the production from the moment the production was set in motion through the release of the film ten months later.

During this time, she was an effective communicator, often serving as my liason to scattered members of the crew. She also coordinated projects involving numerous people, and her ability to work collaboratively while guiding the project quickly and effectively was outstanding. For example, when we suddenly needed to reconceive several action sequences that had already been storyboarded, XXX quickly found a new storyboard artist on location and worked with him, the stunt coordinator and the cinematographer thorugh several drafts to make sure the new sequences worked, and then communicated with crew members from all departments, making sure everyone was up-to-date on the changes that were relevant to them. She even jumped in to draw a few last-minute storyboard changes herself.

XXX's sensitivity, diligence, energy and sense of humor made working with her a joy. I highly recommend her as a welcome addition to the program.

Sincerely,

XXX
