“I have to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jamie recently on our last production of Line of Duty. Jamie took the weight of a very intense schedule on board at all times and never faltered in good mood or in pushing the schedule forwards. He was thoroughly supportive to me throughout and a team player in every regard. Personally, I can’t tell you how very fond I am of him.”
Cáit Collins, Producer
“We employed Jamie MacDermott on THIS BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC. He came highly recommended having worked on many of Vertigo’s films. I found Jamie to be highly organized and prepared. We had a grueling 24-day schedule and Jamie made it possible by managing the day-to-day and juggling to move scenes to keep the schedule on time. We actually wrapped an hour early on day 24! Jamie is also great fun to be around and helped make something stressful into fun, while managing relations between the cast, crew and production. He’s a star and I’d recommend him to anyone.”
