Paige Blankenship

Originally from North Carolina, Paige received her Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies (with a Leadership Studies minor) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. In NC, Paige ran a production company in Downtown Wilmington, worked for the Cucalorus Film Festival, and founded the NC fILM forum. She started directing documentaries at age thirteen, making her way to award-winning director by the age of twenty-three. Paige produced countless commercial projects around North Carolina before she was brought on as the staff Production Coordinator for Bonesteel Films in Asheville, NC. When she moved to LA, Paige started over, working as a freelance production assistant before she worked her way up to production coordinator on various commercial projects. Recognizing her passion for the business side of filmmaking, Paige pursued different positions as an aspiring producer. She worked at an agency for six months before working full time at an Entertainment Law Firm in Beverly Hills for a year, while also freelancing as a 1st Assistant Director around Southern California on the weekends. In her spare time, she served as an ambassador for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce as well as a member of the Junior Hollywood Radio & Television Society and Women in Media. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Paige continued to work in Film/TV as a Production Manager and a certified COVID Compliance Officer. She was grateful to continue working during these unprecedented times in a capacity that allowed her to help keep her peers safe and healthy on the job, especially when served as the full time COVID-19 Testing Coordinator for Pie Town Productions for 4 months. Now, Paige is back to full-time freelancing as a Production Manager (and other various roles).
