May 2nd, 2023, Montreal, Quebec – Dreww is thrilled to announce the well-earned promotion of Evan Baird to the position of Film Producer, as he transitions from his previous role as Film Production Manager. During the last 2 years at Dreww, Evan has demonstrated remarkable progress in his roles, first as Assistant Producer and subsequently as Film Production Manager, showcasing his dedication and expertise in producing high-production value films for brands.

As Film Producer, Evan will now take on an expanded role, producing the entire film production process from pitch, to pre-production, all the way through post-production. He will work closely with the above-the-line creative team, including creative directors, writers, directors, cinematographers, and editors, to ensure that all of Dreww’s projects maintain the highest standard of quality for our various clients. In this new role, Evan will now be responsible for building and managing complex budgets, timelines, and client relationships, ensuring the seamless execution of our film productions.

Evan’s remarkable progress and growth over the past 2 years at Dreww have been nothing short of inspiring. As I focus on broader aspects of the business, it’s crucial that we entrust key responsibilities to our longest-standing team members such as Evan. During his time with us, Evan has gained invaluable experience working closely with me on dozens of film productions, some small and some large. Today, he’s ready to take the reins.

Furthermore, Evan’s deep understanding of union regulations has made him an invaluable resource for our team. He has consistently shown a strong grasp of the complex rules and regulations that govern our industry with actors and technicians, allowing us to navigate the intricacies of union requirements with ease. This combination of dedication, initiative, and expertise has made Evan an integral part of our success and a natural choice for his new role as Film Producer.

I am thrilled to be stepping into this new role as Film Producer. Never would I have thought that making silly YouTube videos as a kid would set the foundation for my passion today. I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities. Let’s get to work!
