When completed, everyone on the picture will be here — where they're from, what they're into, and who they've worked with before. Add yours and it fills in. Everyone in one frame.
On a laptop or tablet, the same link opens as a map you can move around — the whole crew in one frame, laid out by department.
You already know what everyone does. This is for finding out who they are.
What's here
Everyone on the picture, by department. Open a name and you'll see whatever that person chose to share — where they call home, where they grew up, what they're into, the films they'd defend, and anyone on this crew they've worked with before.
It's all self-reported, so it starts empty and fills in as people add themselves. Right now that's a handful of us. It's worth about as much as the number of people who are in it.
Who I am
I'm Rand Harper. You've probably seen me around — I've been here since the start and I'll be on set most days through wrap.
In the outside world I work as an executive coach. On GABLE I'm doing two things: helping this picture however I can, and working out what coaching for film production teams should actually look like. I'm calling that Throughline.
A crew has to become a working team faster than almost any group of people anywhere. A few weeks to assemble, straight into the work, gone at wrap. Most industries would call that impossible. Film does it on every picture, and almost nobody studies how.
This is the first thing to come out of that. It's yours whether or not the rest of it interests you.
What it isn't
It isn't an evaluation and it isn't reporting on anyone. Nothing here goes into a file, and none of it touches how anyone gets hired. What you write shows on your own card for the crew to read, which is the whole purpose of it.
It's take one
Unfinished on purpose. If something's wrong, useless, or missing, tell me — in person, by email, or text. Your feedback is invaluable.
With gratitude,
Rand

Please only add or edit your own information. The prototype has no way to tell it's really you — it takes everyone at their word. A later version will be smarter. This one is trusting.
