Robin A. Townsend
Line Producer / Production Manager | Creative-Driven | Cross-Cultural Specialist
I’m a UK-based Line Producer and Production Manager with hands-on experience across global productions — including BFI-certified UK features, award-winning shorts, and international projects filmed in the USA, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Sri Lanka.
With a background in co-founding and running a multi million pound + turnover UK national business, I bring strong expertise in budgeting, logistics, compliance, and on-the-ground crew leadership. I’ve managed BFI certification, HMRC rebate processes, and accountant-audited reports, while supporting productions from early finance stages through post.
I’ve worked directly with international teams — assisting overseas talent with UK sponsorship, navigating cultural and operational differences on set, and adapting to high-pressure environments in diverse regions.
What sets me apart is my deep passion for film and problem-solving. I’m currently completing an MSc in Leadership & Management and am preparing to undertake a PhD in Media and Film, focusing on trauma storytelling and outsider narrative. I thrive on complex creative challenges, bring calm leadership under pressure, and approach every shoot with heart, humour, and commitment.
Open to meaningful work at flexible and reduced rates.
Although fully experienced, I’m open to working at lower rates for the right projects — especially those with artistic integrity, emotional depth, or diverse voices. I believe in the power of film to change lives and am always willing to go the extra mile for a story worth telling.
I’m a strong organiser, fast to adapt, and comfortable wearing multiple hats. Whether it’s remote work or on-location logistics, I’m reliable, confident, and relocation-ready at short notice. I take great pride in being a calm, solutions-focused presence on set — problem-solving is where I shine, and it’s what I’m most proud of in my professional life.
