Danielle Over the course of your time at Alford, what has been your biggest personal accomplishment?KeithI can tell you my favorite show moment. There is a lot of anxiety that comes from producing large shows. There%u2019s a lot of prep work, multiple load-in days, setup, and more. But when the client comes in and sees everything that we%u2019ve done and tells us that %u201ceverything looks great,%u201d it feels like all that stress on my heart goes away. It%u2019s a magical feeling.Danielle You have worked many different roles at Alford. Do you have a favorite?KeithI really enjoyed being a projectionist, but I also immensely enjoy my current role as an engineer. I can tell you that I never want to be a COVID engineer again!Danielle How necessary is getting a media/film degree at this point in the industry?KeithIt is not necessary at all, but if you decide to pursue something else, you have more opportunities than someone who doesn%u2019t. My thought process has always been to find what you love to do and then find a way to make money off it.Danielle What is the biggest piece of advice you can give a young person like me who is starting out in this industry?KeithDon%u2019t stop, and don%u2019t let anyone tell you no. You will deal with a lot of complacency from those around you. Ensure you are always eager to learn, work hard, and stay humble. And be nice!
