Hi, I’m Derek Chudy, a Calgary-based production professional with hands-on experience in office administration, location work, and live sports broadcasting. I excel at organizing crews, coordinating quotes, and keeping shoots running smoothly—from prep to wrap—and I bring a practical, can-do attitude to every project. Over the years I’ve contributed to TV series such as My Life with the Walter Boys, Billy the Kid, Ride, and Under the Banner of Heaven, as well as Ab Unit shoots for Netflix and HBO. I love solving on-set challenges, communicating clearly with crews and vendors, and growing into roles like Production Assistant, Location Manager, and Camera/Live Production supervision.
