I work in the space of management, allowing my boss to focus on the bigger aspects of leadership.” — Adam Fidler, The Executive Assistant - What I Am https://www.natashablake.com/freelanceevents-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://www.natashablake.com/about daily 0.75 2025-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/9c23fa9e-4101-4927-954f-abebc662ab83/commencement.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/1c794037-a0df-4b2d-b70b-5da58159f9e7/The+Art+of+Gathering.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/5283beb5-8d25-497a-bfce-864ca4e3363f/470206889_983900610450004_3987895567794705443_n.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/6eb69d3a-2f3c-4b2c-b1c9-759547627613/Screenshot+2025-01-07+at+10.37.51%E2%80%AFAM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/685b612d-73cb-4683-b492-c90f49e7c568/Aspen+Ideas+Festival+Logo.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/cf3dc76c-3260-4cc4-8506-75940d582a4c/Screenshot+2025-01-07+at+10.59.46%E2%80%AFAM.png About https://www.natashablake.com/resume daily 0.75 2025-02-01 https://www.natashablake.com/eventmarketing daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/4adb133c-423c-49e3-b15b-ef994bca856f/Marketing+%26+Communications+Photo.jpg Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates - Case Study: Valdemar Family Estates Winery opening shows Walla Walla's mark on world wine map (Union-Bulletin, April 2019) WSU Tri‑Cities partners with Spanish winery (June 2019) With Homegrown Expansion and Boldfaced New Talent, Walla Walla Enters its Third Wave (Wine Enthusiast, December 2019) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/2a843b79-e2d1-483f-aa93-72977402a4aa/V3_insta.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/c18b4cea-ff37-4c51-8bfe-e97298512cac/V1_insta.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/a07841a2-a6f8-4e2c-90d8-5b46169b89b6/V2_insta.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/3433436b-2802-4f97-ad26-d341c9f1a48f/VE%2BThank%2BYou%2BPostcard.png Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/f55a4bbc-67b7-4d36-a709-973e249af72e/VE%2BIndustry%2BAppreciation%2BNight.png Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/b4883b40-9027-4593-a7b1-f2dc55f0b9b7/VE+Industry+Appreciation+Night.png Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/7e6fb8b4-5e4e-47a1-82a6-9c99500013a8/VE+Thank+You+Postcard.png Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/0c3d5b05-ebf6-4f25-a875-f64d4894f5d8/Valdemar+Estates+Print+Ad.PNG Event Marketing & Publicity - Valdemar Estates https://www.natashablake.com/events daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://www.natashablake.com/festival daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://www.natashablake.com/gates daily 0.75 2025-01-06 https://www.natashablake.com/barbie daily 0.75 2025-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/0acc7745-780e-46ee-95fa-671a2c3921dc/barbie%2Bvideo%2Bgirl%2B1.jpg Barbie Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/a84a5eca-b363-4772-b0c6-77209bcc9bcf/barbie%2B1.jpg Barbie Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/ed40eec9-75fc-4f5e-a597-f36960f19e26/barbie%2Bpic%2BA.jpg Barbie Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/cddf7cfb-76d6-4587-a4cc-cfc82d6a0d54/barbie%2Bpic%2BB.jpg Barbie Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/9432785f-33bb-4946-a239-830071e7f98b/barbie%2Bpic%2BC.jpg Barbie Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/d8f14cf4-cd8b-4985-a264-9dfe4f172688/Screenshot+2025-01-06+at+4.12.28%E2%80%AFPM.png Barbie Film Festival https://www.natashablake.com/eventplanning daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/4adb133c-423c-49e3-b15b-ef994bca856f/Marketing+%26+Communications+Photo.jpg UCLA Film Festival Case Studies - UCLA Film Festival In 2010 and 2011, I organized the UCLA Festival of New Creative Work which showcases and screens work by emerging artists at the the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, and honors the entertainment industry's brightest talent. The festival showcases student work in film, video, animation, producing, screenwriting and theater, including work from the Cinema & Media Studies and Moving Image Archive Studies programs; more than 100 student films; and presentations of screenplays and producer-developed projects. Events include the opening night of the festival, two separate days of student screenings, Design Showcase West, the Screenwriters Showcase, Producers Marketplace, Animation Prom and the closing night Directors Spotlight. Honorees are chosen by students voting within their particular discipline as well as by industry professionals. The festival takes place over seven days and nights, at various locations across Los Angeles, including the Writers Guild Theater, the Directors Guild of America Theater, the James Bridges Theater at UCLA, and at the Billy Wilder Theater at the UCLA Hammer Museum. MEDIA RELATIONS EXPERIENCE \\ THE UCLA SCHOOL OF THEATER, FILM & TELEVISION Before moving to Walla Walla, I worked at UCLA's School of Theater, Film & Television, where I coordinated the annual Festival of New Creative Work. A large component of my job as Festival Coordinator was to draw audiences to festival events and generate positive and engaging impressions of the School through event publicity. I drew upon my previous experiences working at a media agency, to plan and implement a strategic, coordinated, integrated program which would enhance the festival's visibility, solidify its presence as an up-and-coming film festival, and contribute to the college’s overall, renewed communications and branding effort, under the leadership of its new Dean, film producer Teri Schwartz. THE UCLA FESTIVAL OF NEW CREATIVE WORK \\ Consistently ranked as one of the top elite entertainment and performing arts institutions in the world, the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television offers an innovative interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates the study and creation of live performance, film, television, animation and the digital arts. Its distinguished graduate and undergraduate programs include acting, directing, writing, producing, animation, cinematography, lighting design, set design, costume design and sound design, and offers PhDs in Theater and Performance Studies and Cinema & Media Studies. The UCLA Festival of New Creative Work is a seven-day-seven-night fete of events, highlighting the work of undergraduate and graduate students from the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television, and honoring film industry directors, writers and producers. The planning and implementation of the UCLA Festival of New Creative Work is a considerable undertaking that lasts from October to June. I held the position of Festival Coordinator from 2009-2011, overseeing the planning and logistics of each event. Coordinator, The Barbie Film Festival In 2011 I organized The Barbie Film Festival, seeking submissions from UCLA undergraduate and graduate students who were invited to write, shoot and edit two-minute short films, using only the inexpensive Barbie Video Girl toy doll camera. We received over three dozen imaginative and technologically innovative submissions, and I worked closely with executives from Mattel to organize every detail of the festival, bring the concept to fruition, and to promote and screen the films at a very popular and exceptionally unique industry event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/4adb133c-423c-49e3-b15b-ef994bca856f/Marketing+%26+Communications+Photo.jpg UCLA Film Festival Case Studies - The Schedule The annual festival is held during the first week of June. Events include showcases of student work from each program (Screenwriting, Directing, Producing, Cinematography, Animation, Costume Design, Archive Studies), and additional screenings of student films that don't make it into either the Opening Night or Directors Spotlight selection of screenings. At each event, an individual from the entertainment industry is presented with an award for innovative and groundbreaking work in their field, or for a lifetime of achievement. Students winners also receive awards. The events take place at various locations across Los Angeles, with fully catered receptions and after-parties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/4adb133c-423c-49e3-b15b-ef994bca856f/Marketing+%26+Communications+Photo.jpg UCLA Film Festival Case Studies - Auxiliary Programming OUT OF THE ARCHIVE: RECENT WORK FROM THE MOVING IMAGE ARCHIVE STUDIES The long-term survival and accessibility of our moving image heritage is dependent upon the work of archival professionals who preserve, restore, document, curate, and exhibit these materials. Out of the Archive features creative and preservation work by current students and recent graduates of the UCLA M.A. program in Moving Image Archive Studies (MIAS). Current students present independent creative work and excerpts from their portfolios, representing their professional interests and achievements in the MIAS program. Recent MIAS alumni now working as professional archivists show elements of their preservation work. https://www.natashablake.com/eventplanning-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786047-K0VII4UI7MJZ11Y6MQNT/ceramic+bud+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847785812-1MJRWHO89PP5CTON60CF/ceramic+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786777-I8BZRIZVCEZ63R9CKU1D/round+ceramic+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847318774-JS502KT9XE3KPJHQQ6E3/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/b4883b40-9027-4593-a7b1-f2dc55f0b9b7/VE+Industry+Appreciation+Night.png Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/7e6fb8b4-5e4e-47a1-82a6-9c99500013a8/VE+Thank+You+Postcard.png Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/0c3d5b05-ebf6-4f25-a875-f64d4894f5d8/Valdemar+Estates+Print+Ad.PNG Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/2ccefe9d-0215-4bdc-a505-e67440d8e2d6/V1_insta.PNG Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/989734a2-7956-4c42-90d7-9ac103388a46/V2_insta.PNG Media Relations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/9476cd95-876f-4fab-be13-c3c7f9ece75d/V3_insta.PNG Media Relations https://www.natashablake.com/swarovski daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618bf0b1b806d92a9d7675f0/f8e8c030-27c4-4456-bd4f-82b3878369e4/swarovski+panel.jpg Swarovski - UCLA Film Festival Design Showcase West Design Showcase West is the only national entertainment design showcase on the West Coast, and is held every June, during the UCLA Film Festival.
