PRODUCER

 

Theatrical

Socks Whitmore came into theatrical producing by heading the workshop productions of their original shows We Are Here (2019) and Back to One: A Coming of Self Musical (2020), and the producing bug stuck. They’ve also served as a producer and stage manager for musical concerts, an event planner for workshops and resource fairs, a marketing/creative assistant for immersive experiences, and they have an unusual love for writing emails, playing with spreadsheets, and creating and organizing Google Drives.

Want organization? Socks has experience with:

  • Casting and hiring performers

  • Social media and marketing

  • Copy for project descriptions, digital presence, text-based experiential/design elements, and emails/communications

  • Managing communications with press and the performers

  • Grant applications and budgets

  • Scheduling and preparing for rehearsals, meetings, and community discussion groups

  • Touring and negotiating with venues for production

  • Facilitating discussions around creative vision, logistical execution, and delegation

Digital

Socks Whitmore’s digital production experience spans everything from music videos to indie games to podcasts. Most recently, they served as a co-producer and marketing lead of the horror-comedy fiction podcast, Georgie Romero Is Done For, created by Kat Shea, and they are currently the artistic director of an upcoming 2D musical platformer by Bolero Game Studio. For the games Georgia (2019) and Seeing Gray (2021), Socks functioned as writer, director, artistic director, acting director, and producer. (And lead voice actor to boot!)

Want determination? Socks can make your content happen by:

  • Scheduling recording sessions and booking recording studios

  • Finding and hiring collaborators like voice actors, visual artists, or sound designers

  • Giving voice over direction

  • Making/facilitating decisions about creative vision, art design, and branding

  • Leading production meetings

  • Task delegation and long term planning, including social media calendars

  • Script editing and transcription

  • Video editing and closed captioning

  • Basic audio engineering and sound design (in a pinch! They can only do SO many things at one time)
