Eastern Effects - Production Facility
Laura currently is the co-owner of Eastern Effects. After graduating from the C.W.Post film department, she and Kayvan moved to Queens and began taking internships. They believe that this is a great way to try different types of production and to meet people that can help you get jobs in the field. Her hard work there got her jobs working as a production assistant with several production companies in New York City. She moved from production assistant to production coordinator to production manager. After her work as a freelancer she joined up with her current business partner at Eastern Effects where they are working together to grow the company. Eastern Effects provides lighting and grip equipment rentals for independent films, television production, corporate and commercial videos etc.
Kayvan also graduated from C.W. Post in 2000. During his summers at C.W.Post, Kayvan went to Los Angeles and worked as an intern. After graduation he took an internship in New York with Good Machine production company that produced such films as In the Bedroom and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. That internship led to a job as an office production assistant which led him into the accounting field within film production. He works mostly on budgeting for films. He has continued to work on his own film projects, one of which made it into the San Jose International Film Festival.
