Professional Summary
Bert is a Unit and Locations crew member with hands-on experience across features, series and short-form production, holding credits as Unit Base Manager and Unit Assistant. He holds a Diploma of Film alongside years of experience in hospitality, truck and bus driving, cleaning industries and machinery operation, background that translates directly into running a self-sufficient, well-equipped unit base under pressure. Bert is comfortable being the person productions rely on to keep logistics, welfare and vehicles running smoothly on location.
Key Interests & Strengths
Bert's interest sits squarely in unit and locations work, particularly the logistics side of keeping a production base running efficiently. He's drawn to the operational challenge of getting cast and crew fed, sheltered and moved on time, and takes pride in a unit base that runs quietly and well, without drawing attention to itself.
Production Value
Bert brings a fully equipped unit base to every job, including Starlink connectivity, coffee and tea-making facilities, gazebos, seating and trestles, silent generators, refrigeration and water urns, so productions aren't left chasing basic infrastructure on remote or difficult locations. His background in truck and bus driving and machinery operation means he can also manage towing, transport logistics and a rescue/4WD vehicle without needing to bring in additional contractors, and his hospitality and cleaning industry experience carries directly into how he runs crew welfare on base.
