   #272: Behind the Scenes with Muppets Show Production Coordinator Christi Sotomayor

   There's so much that goes into every production of film or TV, but never is captured for the screen. One of the people whose job is the "business of creativity" is Christi Sotomayor, a successful production coordinator in California for the past 20+ years. Christi met Chris Reed working on Sons of Anarchy for four seasons together, and joins the Crossing Streams podcast to talk about what her job entails, the types of skills that get you re-hired in an industry where you're always looking for the next gig, the best swag she ever received from a show, and much, much more. Christi also was the production coordinator for the recent reboot of "The Muppet Show" and gives us insane behind-the-scenes insight into what it was like to shoot that show!

[…] So I do credit her with giving me that opportunity, where she kind of took more of a hands-off and just kind of let me do stuff.
