Noah Posnick
The Best Agency & Brand Executive Producer and Production Strategist you don't know yet.
Let’s make you feel safe and cozy knowing that I can do (and have the experience doing) what every great producer should and satisfy some keywords for the resumé bot at the same time. Here we go…
I’ve worked on projects at varying budget levels with big clients that you’ve heard of in diverse business sectors on union and non-union jobs in multiple parts of the world that end up in a bunch of mediums. Wow, big breath now… I stay impossibly organized while juggling multiple projects under rushed deadlines and self-imposed pressure and do so with a smile on my face (did I mention I do all of that while re-watching Black Mirror?). I’ve built, educated, and supervised multidisciplinary teams of the best people and craftspeople in our industry and I think they still respect me. Yes, I know how to budget, schedule, write an SOW and analyze an estimate, source, speak English to business affairs, triple bid, negotiate, cast, eat craft service, edit, animate, composite, conform, localize, deliver, and other jargon. Oh, and let’s not forget that I do all that to try to make the work and our industry better.
Now, maybe we should talk more specifically about why I’m the particular person you want leading and developing your team and helping you make cool stuff. And I know you can’t help but keep reading, because who doesn’t love lists?

4 Things and Ways About Me
- Since middle school, I’ve been a total film-gear-tech-nerd. I get excited about the latest high-speed 6-axis camera robot, LED volume, and realtime mocap animation companies. I love thinking and talking about these tools and innovative practices in terms of the possibilities to create in ways we haven’t before.
- Fun fact: a 20” c-stand in the US is called a Gary Coleman and I find this 80% funny and 20% offensive. In the UK, however, it’s called a Shotgun (as in sawed off) stand.
- Over the last few years, I’ve been working as a strategic production consultant advising clients, producers, and agency leadership to set projects, planning, and processes up for their best chance at success. Potentially every producer and vendors’ penny-pinching worst nightmare, but I’m the opposite. And I have witnesses and testimony to prove that.
- I’m a dillegent support to make sure the right questions are being asked, production status quo is being challenged with innovative processes and resources, all assumptions are cleared up, and no one’s going home with that prop Rolex.
- I founded a production company, The Thrill Mill. And it was pretty successful for a bunch of years.
- I guess that means I’m a self-starter with pitching skills who also knows how to hire, train, and manage people. Boom! Sorry, couldn’t help myself… I’m proud.
- I try to get breakfast with sales reps and EPs and take tours of post houses like in the good ol’ days I often hear about, but never got to experience. You learn so much more that way. Collaboration and direct-practice understanding is key to move the work and our industry positively forward.
- Don’t get me wrong, I love a good #Slack channel and 30-long email chain, but when a project’s in a pinch, who do you think’s going to come through for you? The person you split that shakshuka and maple bacon waffle with or nposnick@youragency.com?
