Joe Thornton
Production Manager
1st Assistant Director
AB - Alberta District Council
I am Cree/Metis.
Content makers want PM’s that have the ability to budget and schedule a project, raise a crew, and deliver regardless the size of the budget without dropping the ball. I am a PM/AD. This is what I do.
I have worked almost every crew position within film and television including stunt driving, when I was young I raced motocross for five years. I began my career as a Cinematographer shooting film for ACCESS TV.
I have managed big budget TV Series and low budget features. I oversee projects from inception through crewing and production.
I Co-produced an international award winning WWII action drama series in partnership with NCRV television in Holland. In the process I unintentionally rescued Halifax’s historic Pier 21 slated for the wrecking ball. It is now a renowned museum. I was a Producer for the APTN animation series ‘Raven Tales’ and Trainee Showrunner for APTNs ‘Cashing In’ Series.
I have organized projects on winter mountain tops at -70C with wind-chill, the Atlantic off the shores of Nova Scotia; the British Columbia coast on the west side of the Island. I have delivered the impossible. Welcome to my world.
